Episode 14: Sunstroke
☀️🥵🌡️Sunstroke / Heatstroke is caused by your body overheating, usually as a result of prolonged exposure to or physical exertion in high temperatures (most common in the summer months.)

➡️ It is a life-threatening condition in which the body's heat-regulating system fails. The body fails to get rid itself of excess heat resulting in rise in body temperature upto 104 F (40 C) or higher.
High temperatures can cause the body’s major organs to fail.

➡️ To help prevent heat exhaustion or heatstroke:

✅ Drink plenty of water
3-4lit/day

✅ Take cool baths or shower

✅ Wear light-coloured, loose clothing

✅ Avoid the sun between 11am and 3pm

✅ Avoid excess alcohol

✅ Avoid extreme exercise

➡️ Keep an eye on children, the elderly and people with long-term health conditions (like diabetes or heart problems), athletes, alcoholics because they're more at risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke
