Pace Yourself: Cut down on exercise during the heat. Rest often in shady areas so that your body has a chance to recover. Schedule Outdoor Activities Carefully: Try to limit your outdoor activity to when it’s coolest, like morning and evening hours. Use your stove and oven less to maintain a cooler temperature in your home. Taking a cool shower or bath or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off. Keep in mind: Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90s, they will not prevent heat-related illness.Call your local health department to see if there are any heat-relief shelters in your area. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library-even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. Stay Cool Indoors: Stay in an air-conditioned place as much as possible. Wear Appropriate Clothing: Choose lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.
