Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated during summers

Keep yourself hydrated! Drink a lot of water, but also home-made or traditional drinks like lemon water, butter milk, lassi or coconut water.

Cover your head: wear a cap, a hat or a

dupatta

to protect your head from direct sunlight.

Wear light-colored, loose clothes, preferably with long sleeves to prevent any sunburns.

Never leave small children or animals in a parked vehicle or direct sunlight. Keep them hydrated at all times.
