Tips from the
Canadian Red Cross
| Drink plenty of
water, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Dehydration can be
dangerous. If you’ve lost a lot of water to perspiration,
you need to replenish it. Water or fruit juice is best. Avoid
caffeinated and alcoholic beverages; they can further
dehydrate you. |
| If you don’t have
air conditioning at home, use air-conditioned places like
shopping malls and municipal buildings. |
| Avoid the midday
heat. Plan your day to do strenuous or outdoor activity in the
cooler morning or evening hours, and stay inside or seek shade
during the hotter part of the day. |
| Slow down
activities that make you hot. Work and exercise in brief
periods. Take frequent breaks. |

| Remember -
|
| Never, ever
leave children or pets unattended in cars, which can quickly reach
deadly temperatures even with the windows cracked on a hot day. |
| Check on
neighbours, relatives and friends who are frail, elderly or live
alone. Those taking certain medications, especially those that
contain diuretics, may also be at risk. |
