Hot weather can cause health problems, especially in people over 65 years old, children under 4 years old, pregnant women, and people with chronic diseases. It is recommended to wear light-colored clothing made from natural materials, protect the head and eyes, and avoid the sun especially at midday. At least 2-3 liters of fluids should be consumed daily, ideally water and mineral water. Light foods such as cold soups, salads, and fruits are suitable, while fatty foods increase heat production in the body. When using air conditioning, the temperature difference from the outside temperature should be only 5-7 degrees to prevent thermal shock. The most dangerous condition is high heat combined with high air humidity, which reduces the body's ability to cool itself.
