Now that the heavy rain has ended, extreme heat has arrived.

In line with that, today we would like to introduce some useful tips for dealing with extreme heat. For your health and safety, please refer to the methods below.

• Stay hydrated: Because your body loses water quickly in the heat, drink water regularly and, depending on your body weight, consume an appropriate amount of electrolyte solution. Mixing fruit with a little salt can help with electrolyte intake.

• Avoid strenuous outdoor activities: During the hottest daytime hours, minimize strenuous outdoor activities. If you need to go out, look for shade or wear a brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.

• Keep indoor spaces cool: Use air conditioning or a fan to keep indoor spaces cool. A cool indoor environment helps prevent heatstroke and dehydration.

• Ventilate indoors: It is important to maintain airflow even indoors. Circulating the indoor air through ventilation can help you feel less hot.

• Dress appropriately: Choose light-colored clothing made of lightweight materials to improve breathability. You can avoid the heat while still wearing clothing that protects your neck and arms.

• Use air-conditioned facilities: If you want to escape the heat, visiting air-conditioned places such as large shopping malls, libraries, or coffee shops is also a good option.

• Water activities: If there is a swimming pool or beach nearby, enjoy some water activities to cool off. Water play is also good for cooling your body and relieving stress.

• Manage the area around you: Keep the environment around your home pleasant by tending to the trees and plants nearby to create shade.

• Do outdoor activities after the sun sets: If you need to be outdoors, try to do so in the morning or evening when the temperature is more comfortable.

• Check the temperature often: Use a thermometer to check indoor and outdoor temperatures, and respond in a way that suits your physical condition.

To minimize the health risks caused by extreme heat and enjoy a happy and healthy summer, please use the tips above and take proper precautions.

Wishing you a healthy rest of the summer!
