Keep Your Cool
Warm summers are usually enjoyable but very high temperatures and humidity can present a risk to health and older people are particularly susceptible to heat-related illness.
Age Concern Gloucestershire offers the following advice:
- Drink lots of fluid, which can include tea and coffee; it doesn't have to be water.
- If you are travelling, by car or bus, take a bottle of water.
- Indoors, keep curtains closed in rooms when they catch the sun.
- A damp cloth on the back of the neck is very cooling.
Age Concern has produced a leaflet 'Keeping cool in a Heatwave' which is full of handy hints and tips. Download your copy below.
