  • Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated throughout the day.
  • Avoid going out in extreme afternoon heat whenever possible.
  • Wear light-colored, loose, and breathable cotton clothes.
  • Use caps, umbrellas, or sunglasses while outdoors.
  • Eat light meals and include fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges.
  • Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol because they may increase dehydration.
  • Take breaks and rest in cool or shaded places if feeling tired or dizzy.
  • Keep rooms ventilated and use fans or cooling methods during hot weather.

Honestly, ignoring early signs like dizziness, headache, or extreme weakness during heat can sometimes become dangerous very quickly.

With 8+ years of patient-facing practice behind his writing, Dr. Gupta brings a perspective that is rarely found in health and beauty content — one shaped by real clinical encounters, not just research papers. He is a registered member of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and has spoken on health literacy and responsible medical communication at platforms including the India Health Summit. Across all his work, his standard remains consistent — every claim is grounded in medical evidence, every recommendation is one he would make to a patient, and no trend is reported without clinical scrutiny.

Summer is here, and so the long sunny days. In this condition, sunstroke is the common life threatening situation. The body loses its ability to maintain the normal body temperature. Sun stroke is caused by prolonged exposure to the sun.

Symptoms for the sunstroke are:

* Hot dry skin

* Core body temperature of 40 degree Celsius or more

* Rapid heart beat

* Loss of consciousness

* Shallow breathing

* Mental changes

* Nausea and vomiting

How to prevent yourself from sunstroke?

* Wear light colored, loose fitting clothes. Cotton is best in summer.

* Wear a wide brimmed hat. Your head is especially sensitive.

* Limit your exposure to the sun.

* Consume plenty of water or energy giving drinks.

* Avoid hectic, intense activities when it is hot or humid.

* Improve indoor air circulation, open the windows, use a fan, or get air conditioning.

* Cut your alcohol and caffeine intake as these substance cause you to lose more fluids.

* Use a sunscreen of SPF 30 or more.
