How to avoid heatstroke during outdoor activities in summer?

The weather is very hot now, so how can people who engage in outdoor activities prevent heatstroke?

1. Drink water. After sweating a lot, you should replenish water in time. When going out, especially hiking, climbing or going to places where water is scarce, be sure to bring enough water. If conditions permit, you can also bring some fruits and other thirst-quenching foods.

2. Cool down. Before going out, you should be prepared for sun protection. It is best to prepare a parasol, a sun hat, and wear light-colored, breathable clothing. If you have any signs of heat stroke while outdoors, take immediate action, such as finding a cool, ventilated place, loosening your collar, and lowering your body temperature.

3. Prepare medicine. You can carry some medicines such as Ren Dan, Shi Di Shui, Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Shui, etc. with you to relieve the symptoms caused by mild heatstroke. If the symptoms of heat stroke are severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
