the right things to do

Symptoms of heatstroke are severe fatigue, sweating “very abundant”, headaches or even cramps, explains journalist and doctor Damien Mascret, present on the set of 12/13. To avoid it, “you have to stay in the shade, close the shutters during the day, go out in the morning or preferably in the evening”, he explains. The body must make significant efforts to stay around 37°C. “When the internal temperature rises, it must be lowered. For that, sweat must be produced, it is perspiration that will lower the temperature”adds the specialist.

To drink a lot of water

Also remember to ventilate or make air currents, with a fan or a fan for example. Namely, the body’s cooling mechanism works less well in older people, and the thirst signal is harder to kick into action. It is recommended to drink drinks rich in salt, promote foods rich in water, namely fruits and vegetables, and finally do not play sports, do not consume alcohol or smoke.
