Dress light and right

Choose light-coloured clothing to help your body stay cool. Cotton and linen are top fabric choices of people to beat the heat.

Avoid drinking water immediately after sun exposure

‘Sooraj ki garmi’ takes a toll on your body but resist the urge to gulp down water immediately upon reaching home. Avoid the risk of temperature shock

Choose lighter meals

Opt for smaller, lighter meals that are easy to digest. Choose fruits and vegetables to keep you cool.

Hydrate like a Pro!

Drink plenty of water. Make sure you drink 8-10 glasses of water a day keeping it handy at all times.

Cool off with short showers

Quick refreshing showers to lower your body temperatures are beneficial.

Avoid strenuous activities

Watch out for symptoms like dizziness, excessive sweating. Move to a cooler place if you experience these and rest.

Skip street food

Stick to home-cooked meals to ensure cleanliness avoiding risk of foodborne illness.

Keep ORS handy
