    •    Slow down! Your body can’t function as well in high temperatures.

    •    Shade heads and faces with a loose-fitting ventilated hat or umbrella outdoors.
    •    Dress appropriately in lightweight, light-coloured, and loose-fitting clothing.
    •    Avoid getting sunburned. It decreases the body’s ability to cool.
