00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,
00:125 tips to beat summer heat and why it's crucial for your health.
00:15With record heat waves sweeping the country, staying cool is crucial,
00:19especially if you don't have air conditioning.
00:21Here are 5 easy ways to beat the heat, recommended by health experts.
00:251. Enjoy indoor activities.
00:27To stay cool, try to avoid the heat by staying inside with good ventilation.
00:31If you need to go outside, take frequent breaks in cool places like malls,
00:35libraries or community centers.
00:37If you lack air conditioning, check out local cooling centers for relief.
00:412. Keep your home cool.
00:43Without air conditioning, keep your home cool by closing windows and shades during the day.
00:47Open them at night to let in the cooler air.
00:49Avoid using ovens and other heat-producing appliances during the hottest parts of the day.
00:543. Stay hydrated.
00:56Carry water with you and drink it often, even if you're not thirsty.
00:59Sweating can quickly lead to dehydration,
01:01so replace lost fluids regularly to prevent heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
01:054. Use cold compresses.
01:07If you feel too hot, use cold compresses or ice packs on your neck and wrists.
01:12Just be sure to put a towel between your skin and the ice to prevent burns.
01:16You can also cool down with a refreshing shower or bath,
01:18but avoid sudden temperature changes.
01:215. Dress light and use sunscreen.
01:23Wear loose, light-colored clothing to reflect the sun's rays and stay cooler.
01:27Don't forget to apply sunscreen to any exposed skin,
01:30even if you're just driving, as UV rays can pass through car windows.
01:34Keeping cool in summer isn't just about feeling comfortable, it's essential for your health.
01:38Overheating can lead to serious issues like heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
01:42When your body overheats, you might start with sweating and weakness,
01:45but it can escalate to confusion or even loss of consciousness.
01:49To function properly, your brain and heart need to stay between 97 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit
01:5436.1 to 37.2 degrees Celsius.
01:58Staying cool helps your body regulate itself through sweating.
02:01Heat exhaustion can cause excessive thirst, muscle cramps, nausea, lightheadedness,
02:06sweating, and fatigue.
02:07Heat stroke, which occurs if body temperature rises above 104 degrees Fahrenheit
02:1240 degrees Celsius can lead to intense headaches, confusion,
02:16stopping sweating, and loss of consciousness.
02:19Infants, children, the elderly,
02:20and those with chronic conditions or certain medications are more at risk.
02:24If you or a loved one has conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or kidney issues,
02:28consult your healthcare provider for ways to stay safe in extreme heat.
