Key points to prevent heatstroke
To prevent heat stroke, please keep the following points in mind.
① Take care of your physical condition on a daily basis. By setting a time, such as in the morning, to measure your body temperature and check your health status every day, you can notice changes in your physical condition.
② Avoid the heat as much as possible and try to hydrate yourself before you get thirsty. It is effective to wear clothes that are as cool as possible, and to use parasols and hats. Be sure to hydrate yourself before and after taking a bath and after waking up. If you sweat a lot, don’t forget to drink not only water but also salt.
③ Don’t put up with the heat; use your air conditioner to lower the indoor temperature to an appropriate level. It’s a good idea to keep a thermometer in the room and check the room temperature frequently. When ventilating the room as a preventive measure against infectious diseases, it is recommended to open two areas, such as windows and doors, or to use an electric fan or ventilation fan. After ventilation, please reset the air conditioner temperature frequently.
If you feel even slightly unwell, you should rest at home and do not push yourself too hard. Elderly people, children, and people with disabilities are especially susceptible to heatstroke, so please be careful and make sure those around you are attentive.
