- wearing light colored clothing that does not absorb heat
- protecting the head with a hat or cap
- avoiding walking at the hottest time of day, when the sun is high
- adequate fluids, especially ones that replace electrolytes
- making use of foods like bananas to replace potassium
- a little salt in juice, if no sports drinks available
