Sunstroke
Feeling dizzy on a hot day is not always harmless. In addition to dizziness, do you also suffer from headaches, decreased appetite, excessive sweating, cramps, rapid breathing, a great thirst and a high body temperature? These are obvious symptoms of heatstroke. In this case, find some shade as soon as possible and drink plenty of (lukewarm) water. In severe cases, you can pass out from heatstroke. If this happens to someone in your area, call 911.
What can you do?
No heatstroke symptoms, but feeling dizzy? Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to avoid this nauseous feeling from the heat. So, you can drink pomegranate juice as soon as you feel the dizziness coming on. This drink hydrates and is good for your circulation. In addition, it is important – we cannot say this often enough – to drink enough water on a hot day. Consuming alcohol and caffeine will dehydrate you sooner, so drink extra water if you like a glass of wine, a cold beer or coffee. Furthermore, avoid the sun between noon and 4 pm, wear a hat, sunglasses and light clothes. Finally, eating lighter meals can help. Your metabolism does not have to run at full speed, so your body warms up less quickly.
