1. Hydrate yourself
2. Protect your skin
Make sure to dress to protect your head with caps, hats, or similar. Another basic point you should add to your daily routine is using a strong sunscreen on your face and neck, which will protect your skin from the damage caused by the sun's rays. Eye protection is also important; with sunglasses, you'll be able to avoid direct sun exposure on your face.
3. Avoid sun exposure
The hours of greatest radiation occur between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., so outdoor activities are recommended before or after this time to avoid heat exhaustion.
4. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages
Alcohol dehydrates you, which can cause you to lack the water and fluids necessary for normal body function. Alcohol also makes you sweat more, and the "combination of sweating more in the heat and frequent bathroom breaks means you lose more fluid than you take in," and you can become dehydrated quickly.
5. Do not perform intense physical activities under the sun
The body is unable to maintain a low temperature. We normally regulate our body temperature by sweating, expelling water that cools us when it evaporates. Extreme heat, humidity, and exercise in the sun can make this measure insufficient. This can lead to headaches, rapid pulse, dizziness, nausea, and weakness.
6. Wear loose, light-colored, long-sleeved clothing
Light colors reflect more of the radiation they receive than dark colors, which absorb more radiation. By absorbing more radiation, they heat up faster, reach a higher temperature, and transfer more heat to the body.
Remember that prevention is better than cure
