Heat affects older adults more quickly and severely, as the body’s ability to regulate temperature declines with age. Therefore, taking special precautions is essential during hot weather:
🔹Avoid going out during peak heat hours (11 AM to 4 PM)
🔹Stay in a cool, well-ventilated place at home
🔹Use a fan, cooler, or air conditioner
🔹Wipe the body with a damp cloth or take cool showers
🔹Stay well hydrated
🔹Drink small amounts of water throughout the day, even if not thirsty
🔹Include fluids like coconut water, lemon water, and buttermilk
🔹Avoid caffeine and overly sugary drinks
🔹Wear light and loose clothing
🔹Choose cotton and light-colored fabrics
🔹Use a hat, umbrella, or sunglasses when stepping out
🔹Eat light and balanced meals
