50 Raw And Funny Pics From People Who Were Just Trying To Get Through A Summer Heatwave (New Pics)

"You should not return to outdoor activity anymore that day. Heatstroke is typically extreme fatigue, confusion, abdominal and body aches, and lack of sweating. Heatstroke should be evaluated at an Emergency Room, as it can be life-threatening,” the family physician warned Bored Panda.

The healthcare professional shared his advice on how to restructure your day to survive the summer heat better. 

"We survive it by:

• Going out to exercise as early as 4:30 am in order to get back by 5:30 am;
• Most people who work outside (construction, landscapers, roofers, farmers, etc.) start working around 5 am, and make sure to get back indoors by 2 pm at the latest;
• Get most errands done early in the morning (groceries, gas, etc.);
• Wait until the sun is no longer shining down before returning to outdoor activities;
• Park your vehicle under a tree when you can find one."

It’s equally vital to remember to stay hydrated. According to Mayo Clinic, men living in temperate climates ought to drink 15.5 cups or 3.7 liters of water per day while women ought to imbibe 11.5 cups or 2.7 liters per day. Harvard Health, on the other hand, notes that 4 to 6 cups of plain water per day is enough for people. This will depend on your level of physical activity and the heat, though. The hotter it is, the more active you are, the more you should drink.

"Wear clothing which covers the skin completely and a wide-brimmed hat. Exposed skin will lead to dehydration more quickly, and increase your risk of skin cancer due to sun exposure. Do not wear confining or constricting clothing as it can impede your ability to sweat, which is crucial in keeping you cool," Dr. Carroll told Bored Panda.
