Temperatures continue to rise during the summer. That’s why it’s important to be able to be mindful of heat-related illnesses that can be prevented with proper caution and care, especially when exercising outside. Atrium Health Navicent physicians offer the following tips to prevent heat-related illnesses: Remain indoors during the hottest parts of the day, generally 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stay hydrated by drinking water and sports drinks, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Wear proper clothing in the heat. Reduce outdoor exercise during high temperatures, and consider exercising during the early morning when temperatures are cooler. Take frequent breaks inside or in a shady spot. Wear sunscreen to prevent sunburns, which can raise body temperature. Don’t leave children or the elderly unattended in hot cars, even for short periods of time. Monitor yourself and your family for any signs of heat exhaustion.
