What should we keep in mind while going out in such weather? Also, what things should we keep in our bag for emergency purposes?

The necessity of hydration requires people to carry water bottles and drink fluids frequently when moving outdoors under hot conditions and also wear cooling lightweight light-colored loose-fitting clothing together with a hat while using sunscreen as protective measures against sun exposure. And make a habit of resting under shade or in air-conditioned areas to avoid overheating.

To keep yourself safe in emergencies while away from home you should pack your bag with a fully charged phone whose contacts you have updated and a tiny medical kit containing dressing materials and disinfectant wipes and essential medication together with sun protection items such as sunglasses and sunblock and cooling tools including both fan and mist spray and small snacks like protein bars. The practice of preparation makes it possible to protect yourself from harm and feel comfortable during hot outdoor conditions.

At home care for newborn babies together with elderly persons needs cooling and hydration techniques when heatwaves occur. The recommended care for newborns includes dressing them in lightweight breathable clothing and proper ventilation of their sleeping area. Apply fans and air conditioners to reduce the room temperature since direct sunlight should be prevented. Regular breastfeeding prevents dehydration in young babies.

The elderly population should wear lightweight clothing and remain indoors throughout peak temperature hours and each day they should drink lots of fluids. Regular checks of elderly household members need to be combined with maintaining cool living conditions and ventilation when possible. Monitor for heat exhaustion and heatstroke symptoms in others and obtain quick medical assistance when needed. These safety measures will support the protection of your household's at-risk members when temperatures reach their peak.

What kind of foods we should keep in our diet everyday, so that we can stay healthy in such weather. Tell us about your favorite food/drink at this time.

Hot weather demands balanced diet consumption for human health maintenance. A diet that includes hydrating foods containing water also should include watermelon cucumbers and berries and other fruits and vegetables. The combination of salads and smoothies with grilled lean proteins forms a light menu which will keep your energy levels steady. The energy benefits from whole grains, nuts and seeds extend over the entire day.

Jollof rice together with plantain remains my preferred hot weather meal which I pair with cold Nutri-Milk. When summer heat comes the combination of jollof rice and plantain delivers flavorful nutrients but cool Nutri-Milk serves as a satisfying beverage. The coordinated consumption of jollof rice and plantain with cold Nutri-Milk both pleases my taste senses and provides essential hydration.
