Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Voting for the sixth phase of India's Lok Sabha elections is taking place in the scorching heat. The voting date is on 25th May in Delhi, Haryana, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, UP and West Bengal. There are many areas among these where the temperature goes beyond 45 degrees Celsius during the day. In such a situation, it is not easy to stand in line for a long time and wait for voting. Dr. Imran Ahmed, the former resident of IHBAS Hospital Delhi, said that if you go to exercise your franchise in the scorching sun, then keep some things in mind, otherwise there may be a risk of problems like heat stroke and dehydration.
1. Wear the right clothes
Before going out to vote in the sun, it is important to select clothes that make you feel less hot. Instead of dark clothes, choose light outfits that are a little loose but have full sleeves. Do keep a hat, cap, or gamchha on your head. This will prevent you from getting exposed to direct sunlight. Also, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. You can keep an umbrella with you for extra protection.
2. Keep drinking water
The best way to avoid the harsh sun and extreme heat is to keep yourself hydrated. For this, keep drinking a sufficient amount of water or glucose. Apart from this, lemonade and fresh fruit juice can also be consumed. Keep a water bottle with you at the polling booth, because you may feel dizzy due to dehydration.
3. Have a light breakfast
Do not eat oily or fried food in the morning on the day of voting, because a heavy breakfast will cause indigestion, which can cause problems when the heat increases. Instead, you should intake protein, fiber, and low-calorie food.
4. Apply sunscreen
If you are not going to vote wear sleeve clothes and gloves, then apply sunscreen to avoid the sun's rays, this will provide protection to your skin and you will be saved from getting tanned unnecessarily.
