- Eat light food- avoid hot, spicy, oily meals and eat foods having high in water content including frits, salads, soups and buttermilk.

- While going out, wear a white handkerchief or use an umbrella to block sunrays.
- Do outdoor work in the early mornings or late evenings.
- Wear light colored, loose fitting cotton clothes, preferably muted colors such as tan.
