• Carry a bottle of water wherever you go.

 

• Drink lots n lots of Water will keep your body hydrated to maintain Electrolyte balance and will eventually save you from Heatstroke.

 

• Hydrate yourself with watery fruits, fresh fruit juices n salads, coconut water and the like during the peak heat hours.

 

• Eat cold things -you get a free pass to eat them.

 

• Always cover your body n face whenever exposing to the sun.

 

• Never forget to apply sunscreen not less than SPF20 (Sun Protection Factor).

 

• Choose for cool loose cotton fabric for summer.  

 

• Go for Light colors over Dark color.

 

• Protect yourself with Shades, caps, and umbrellas.

 

• Don't venture out between 1 pm and 4 pm.
