We have several recommendations for people with a higher risk.

1. Avoid, if possible, exposure to sunlight between the hours of 11 to 18;
2. If you have air conditioning, adjust the device so that its temperature is 5 degrees lower than ambient temperature;
3. Fans should not be used if air temperature exceeds 32 degrees Celsius;
4. If you don’t have air conditioning in the home, at work, spend 2-3 hours daily in areas that benefit from air conditioning (cinemas, public spaces, shops);
5. Drink daily 1.5 – 2 liters of fluid, without waiting for the sensation of thirst to appear. During periods of hot weather we recommend a glass of water consumption (or equivalent) every 15 to 20 minutes;
6. Do not drink alcohol (including beer or wine), because it promotes dehydration and decreases the body’s ability to fight against the heat;
7. Avoid drinks with high caffeine content (coffee, tea, colas) or sugar (carbonated soda) because they are diuretics;
8. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables (melon, red plums, cucumbers, tomatoes) because they contain a large quantity of water;
9. A dose of yogurt produces the same hydration as a glass of water;
10. Avoid outdoor activities that require high energy (sports, gardening, etc.)
11. Take care of children and elderly providing them regularly liquids, even if they don’t ask;
12. Maintain permanent contact with your neighbors, relatives, acquaintances who are elderly or disabled.
