High temperatures are hitting the country, putting bodies to the test.

The elderly, outdoor workers, and those exposed to heat sources are the most affected.

Good practices to adopt to support intense heatwaves include good hydration, balanced nutrition, and taking medication as needed.

It is recommended to drink an average of 1.5 liters of water per day and limit the consumption of sugary and caffeinated beverages.

People suffering from heart failure, neurodegenerative diseases, or diabetes must be particularly cautious.

Severe dehydration can lead to serious complications.
