Health Tip of the Week
Heed the Heat During Summer Workouts
 
People who exercise or play sports outdoors during the summer need to tak steps to avoid heat injury, especially heat stroke.
 
Exercise during the coolest time of the day.  Many people think the evening is the coolest time of day, but actually, it is early in the morning just before the sun rises. If your schedule will not accommodate an early morning workout, wait until at least 5 p.m.
 
Choose the right type of clothing.  Clothing choice is important. Wear light colors as they reflect light, and items made from moisture-wicking material, not cotton, which absorbs sweat and feels heavy when saturated. Also, wear as little clothing as possible.
 
Ease into outdoor summer activity. Acclimatization is how our bodies gradually adjust to the heat. Take it slow the first couple of weeks, gradually increasing the intensity of your workout -- but listen to your body. If you start feeling sick or dizzy, stop immediately to rest, cool down and hydrate.
 
Stay hydrated.  Drink water while you are active, but also, weigh yourself before you exercise outdoors, then again after you are done. Drink enough water to replace what you lost during your activity -- one pint of water for every pound you lose.
 
Use sun screen.  Numerous brands make light-feeling and sweat-resistant sport sun block formulas that won't run in your eyes.  If you have long hair, wear it up so that the sweat on your neck can better evaporate to keep you cool.
