Internal Medicine Dr Lida Fatemi on Staying Cool this Summer

When a heat wave hits:

Drink lots of water, even if you’re not thirsty.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which dehydrate you.

Eat lighter meals, more often.

Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.

Check on loved ones who live alone or don’t have air conditioning.

Stay inside as much as possible and avoid outdoor chores.
