Heatwaves pose significant health risks, particularly in urban areas, as rising temperatures lead to dehydration and heat-related illnesses. Dr. Ankush Garg, a Consultant Physician at Kailash Hospital in Greater Noida, emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated by drinking water and natural cooling fluids like coconut water and buttermilk throughout the day. It's crucial to avoid outdoor activities during the hottest hours, typically between 12 PM and 4 PM, and to dress in lightweight, loose-fitting clothing while protecting the skin with sunscreen. A diet rich in water-based foods such as cucumbers and watermelon can also help maintain a cooler body temperature. Recognizing symptoms of heat exhaustion, such as fatigue and dizziness, is essential for timely intervention. Establishing consistent habits and being proactive are key strategies for surviving heatwaves and protecting health during extreme summer conditions.
