Heat causes additional stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. During very intensive heat, a wide range of the population is exposed to the risk of health problems, but special caution should be taken by the elderly, infants, as well as representatives of other age groups suffering from chronic diseases! Drink more liquid than usual, ventilate the rooms at night, but close the curtains or blinds during the day, do not stay in direct sunlight for a long time, avoid prolonged physical activities, and choose light and breathable clothing! Do not forget to take care of your pets too by providing them with fresh water.
