I feel dizzy and weak... quick go get the ladder

Over the last few days I've encountered dizziness and weakness brought on due to the heat, and of course my own misbehavior: Five double dose coffees in the morning, two to four mixed drinks after lunch.

Apparently I wasn't the only one in town with heat exhaustion.
Met an elderly traveler who had almost fainted while in a major department store.

Recommend Treatment

• Avoid alcohol and coffee.  
• Drink electrolyte (sodium and potassium salts)
• rest in a shaded area
• air conditioning
• drink plenty of water (** CAUTION: some medical conditions and medications require limited water intake),  
• cool shower or pool
• coconut juice 
• banana (potassium)

"...one cup-full of coconut water contains more electrolytes than most sports drinks and more potassium than a banana" wikipedia

 

Now I realize why I prefer rum with coconut juice instead of COKE.
