Prolonged exposure to heat during the morning hours when people usually play Holi with water and colours among other things increases the likelihood of heat-related illnesses if proper precautions are not taken. Here are some points to keep in mind for ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience while playing Holi.
Drink plenty of water, fruit juice, or vegetable juice the whole day.
Use ORS, homemade drinks like lassi, rice water, lemon water or buttermilk that help rehydrate the body.
Having lighter meals when it is hot, food with high water content like fruits (strawberries/oranges), cucumber, lettuce will help you stay hydrated and cool.
