Temperature Rising

This summer is promising to be a hot one! Check out these tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for staying healthy in the heat.

• Limit outdoor activity, especially midday when the sun is hottest. If you participate on a sports team, schedule workouts and practices earlier or later in the day when the temperatures tend to be cooler. Wear and reapply sunscreen as indicated on the package.
• Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Pace activity. Start activities slow and pick up the pace gradually.
• Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink more. Muscle cramping may be an early sign of heat-related illness.
• Limit alcohol consumption when outdoors. Alcohol promotes dehydration and impacts your body’s ability to regulate its own temperature, which increases your risk of heat-related illness.
• Seek medical care immediately if you or a friend are experiencing symptoms of heat-related illness.
