Beat the Heat:
Your guide to staying cool and healthy
|
|
As temperatures rise, it's essential to stay informed and take proactive steps to stay cool and healthy. In this issue of "Beat the Heat," we'll explore the various types of heat-related illnesses, provide hydration tips, and emphasize the importance of sunscreen for sun safety.

Types of Heart-Related Illnesses:
Know the Signs
|
|
• Heat Cramps: Painful muscle spasms usually caused by dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Symptoms include muscle cramps, sweating, and fatigue.
|
|
• Heat Exhaustion: Occurs when the body overheats due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and inadequate hydration. Symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and headache.
|
|
• Heat Stroke: A life-threatening condition where the body's temperature regulation system fails, leading to extremely high body temperature. Symptoms include confusion, rapid heartbeat, unconsciousness, and hot, dry skin.

Hydration Tips: Stay Cool and Hydrated
|
|
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you're not feeling thirsty.
|
|
• Avoid sugary and caffeinated beverages, as they can contribute to dehydration.
|
|
• Eat hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables, which have high water content.
|
|
• Take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas, especially during peak heat hours.
|
|
• Monitor urine color; pale yellow indicates proper hydration, while dark yellow may indicate dehydration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANCE OF SUNSCREEN:
Protect Your Skin
|
|
• Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, and ears.
|
|
• Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating.
|
|
• Seek shade during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
|
|
• Wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats, for added sun protection.
