How to beat a heat stroke
Summer time brings with it tall icy drinks and light playful clothes
but when the heat is on, there is no respite.
1. A person suffering from a heat stroke should be moved to a cooler
spot. His/her clothes should be loosened.
2. A cold-water sponge should be given and the person's palm and
feet should be rubbed for better blood circulation in the body.
3. To avoid a heat stroke, one should have long cooling baths frequently
in the day and let children play in swimming pools. A body immersed
in water and hydrated has less chances of getting a heat stroke.
4. And for those who believe that prevention is better than cure,
drink a lot of water, binge on lemonade, buttermilk, juice and evn
coconut water. Avoid coffee and alcohol and heavy exercises.
5. Increase the frequency and duration of rest breaks to help you
stay hydrated and cool.
