What to do in extreme heat-health tips

What to do in extreme heat-health tips-this post is how to stay healthy in extreme heat weather.
Every year the number of death incidents related to extreme heat increases in summer. Millions of people around the worlds suffer from migraines, heat strokes, and heart attacks. Summer is lot's of fun, but it's also a dangerous season, so we need to protect ourselves (and people around us) by following simple rules. I collected these tips from doctors and governmental sites:

1. Drink plenty of water.
Don't drink sodas or caffeinated drinks instead of water, just drink water. I personally add a tea spoon of organic apple cider vinegar to my water (it makes it taste better, plus it provides antioxidants for my skin).

2. Wear a hat

3. Wear a light breezy clothes

4. Wear a sun screen

5. Don't over exercise

5. Wear comfortable breezy shoes

6. If someone is fainting, you need to call 911

7. Don't over heat yourself

8. Stay in a shaded area

9. Replace your minerals and salts; drink Gatorade

10. Refrigerate your food to prevent food poisoning

11. Ladies only: wear a comfy not padded bra. Too much padding will overheat your chest area.

Please reshare these rules to inform everybody!
Stay healthy and gorgeous!
