    Caregivers and family members can help and support elderly people during hot weather by helping them wear light and loose clothing, make them drink plenty of fluids, make them wear a head cap during outdoor activities, avoid excess exercise, avoid sunlight in the afternoon hours, avoid high-fat diet, and give them to eat fresh fruits containing excess water like watermelon, oranges, lemon, and strawberries, avoid consumption of alcohol and caffeine, cold pack application, help them to take a cool shower, check in often, make them drink cold soups, intake of 1 glass of water every 15 to 20 minutes, taking oral rehydration solution, and moving to a cooler place. Look for the early signs of heat-related illness like feeling excess thirst, fatigue, confusion, rapid heart rate, excess perspiration, nausea, and dizziness to monitor their health in hot weather.
