Intense heat effect: Don’t wait until you’re so thirsty to drink water, says Philippine health expert


MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): People should not wait until they feel thirsty before drinking water amid the intense summer heat in many parts of the country, Iloilo 1st District Rep. Janette Garin, a former secretary of the Department of Health (DOH), said on Monday.

In a press briefing, Garin reminded the public to drink water at even the slightest hint of thirst because a lot of heat-induced diseases — like heat stroke — can happen without people knowing that they are at risk.
