One cannot be humble and aware of oneself at the same time.

Only water may not help to replenish the water lost due to do excessive sweating. Drink ORS, lemonade, salt and sugar water mixture, sherbets and certain kinds of fruit juices to keep yourself hydrated.
The heat of the sun is maximum during the noon to 3 o’clock. Most of the people out at this time of the day are catching the ‘loo’ and falling ill. They are either suffering from viral fever, excessive vomiting, urinary tract infections and so on. It is advised to all to stay indoors at this time and do your outdoor work either before noon or after 3 pm when the immense heat subdues.
Always protect your body from the harmful radiations of the sun using sunscreens with high SPF and UV protection. Use umbrellas. Wear sunglasses to shield your eyes from the direct sun rays. You can also cover your hair with cotton shawls or dupattas so as to guard the softness and shine of your hair and not turn it into the hairdo of an African lion after a long day under the sun.
Keep the curtains and blinds closed whenever you can. It deflects the sun rays and reduces the amount of heat entering your home.
Before eating anything make sure that there is no rancid smell coming from it. If there is such a smell, do not eat the food! Food poisoning is also very common this season. The heat tends to decompose the food very fast so, refrigerate whatever you cook and do not keep it outside for long hours. Avoid eating heavy meals outdoors and stick to fresh and light homemade food this season to stay healthy.
Laptops generate a lot of heat, making it impossible to work keeping them on your lap. Switch off your computer when you are done and keep it on sleep mode when you’re away.
Cold drinks and ice-creams are not necessarily the only cold food available in the markets and definitely not very slimming. Try out the various flavours of squash, aam panna, cold coffee, iced tea and other cool stuff. However, do not have them while you are under the scorching heat of the sun or within a minute or two of entering a shaded place – keep a minimum time gap of 15 minutes after which your body will be ready to consume them.
Light and heat energy is released simultaneously. Shutting down the lights will keep your surroundings cooler for longer.
Spray some water on yourself from time to time to decrease the heat. It is all about thermal regulation. The evaporating water would keep you cool. (Remember how elephants keep cool with water from their trunks?)
Wear cotton clothes in lighter shades. Reflect the heat away instead of turning into a human furnace by wearing the darker colours. While sleeveless may seem a great idea, long sleeves are good if you want to keep your hands a little more protected from the sun.
Stay under the shade as much as possible as the sun rays are not only extremely hot but also dangerous. Switch on your AC and keep the temperature ranging from 24 to 27 degree Celsius and not too low as it then emits more pollutants like CFC into the atmosphere depleting the ozone layer even further.
