If you find yourself holidaying in a heatwave, follow these tips:
1. Drink water regularly to stay hydrated. Avoid hot drinks and alcohol as these actually dehydrate the body.
2. Take cool showers. Splash water on your face and body to help reduce your body temperature.
3. Wear loose, light coloured clothing to reflect the sun and allow air to circulate. Linen and cotton are cooler than other fabrics.
4. Keep in the shade or wear a hat to shelter and protect your face.
5. Don’t do excessive activities which increase your body temperature.
6. If you feel unwell, find a cool place to rest and drink lots of water.
7. Should you experience chest pains, are confused, are breathless or feel dizzy and it doesn’t improve after resting and re-hydrating, seek medical assistance immediately.
