How to avoid heat stroke and heat exhaustion?

Last summer, I was so worried about heat stroke, kept checking symptoms all the time. But honestly, staying hydrated and just chilling indoors during the afternoon works wonders. Don't overthink it, just be smart about managing your time outside.

I totally get it, the Indian summers can be brutal! I make sure to drink lots of water, not just when I'm thirsty, but throughout the day. Also, wearing light, loose cotton clothes really helps. And try to stay indoors during the hottest part of the day.

My mother always tells us to drink plenty of buttermilk and lemon water during summer. And keep head covered when going out. These simple things help. But if you feel very unwell, don't hesitate to consult a doctor, as heat stroke can be very serious.

Hydrate constantly, not just with water but also ORS or coconut water to replace electrolytes. Wear light-colored, breathable clothing. Avoid heavy meals and alcohol. If someone shows signs like confusion or a very high body temp, it's an emergency, get medical help immediately.
