• Schedule physically demanding activities at cooler times of the day. This includes doing your running / jogging at night or early morning. If running at night you may want to consider wearing a reflective running vest for your safety. Also, consider this when planning family activities or those trips to fair or amusement park.
• Drink lots of water. Seems like common sense we know, but if you are exercising or working outside drink even when you do not feel thirsty.
• When working or exercising outside take plenty of breaks. Now is not the time to be pushing yourself to new limits!
• Eat light, nutritious meals and foods high in water content like fruits and vegetables.
• Use sunscreen. We recommend SPF 15 or higher.
• Wear light, loose cotton clothing and hats to keep the sun out of your face.
• Stay in Inside! If you do not need to be outside in extreme heat, don't go!
