👉🏻Think you’re ready to brave the heat? If you can, exercise with a friend 🏃♂️ because it’s safer💢 — and more fun 〽️— to have someone at your side. It’s also best to avoid the outdoors in the early afternoon☀️ (about noon to 3 p.m.) because the sun is usually at its strongest, putting you at higher risk for heat-related illnesse 🥵

☀️ Whatever brings you outside — a bike 🚴 ride with friends, a jog 🏃🏻♀️ in the park or just a stroll around the block — it’s important to stay safe when the temperature rises 🌞 🩺 Check with your doctor before starting an exercise routine if you are experiencing symptoms or have a specific medical question or chronic disease. Certain heart medications 💊 , such as beta blockers, ace receptor blockers, ace inhibitors, calcium channel blockers and diuretics (which deplete the body of minerals 💦 ), can exaggerate the body’s response to heat. But it’s always important to take your medications as prescribed unless told to do otherwise by your doctor 👨🏻⚕️ #summer #cardiovasculardisease #takeyourpills #coreprimeclinic
