What this means for you
AI-generated plain English summary
✓
Eat lighter foods during hot weather** â Heavy meals and cooking with the oven make your body work harder and generate more heat, so stick to cooler options like salads, cold foods, and easy-to-prepare meals when it's very hot outside.
✓
Stay hydrated and choose the right drinks** â Drinking plenty of fluids is especially important during a heatwave, and selecting the right beverages (like water and electrolyte drinks) helps your body stay cool and function properly.
✓
Plan simple meals ahead of time** â When temperatures soar, avoid using the oven and instead prep easy, no-cook meals in advance so you're not tempted to skip eating or make unhealthy choices when you're uncomfortable.
Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to your health or treatment.
