Summer is here and so is hot weather! Too much time in the heat can cause health problems, especially in older adults. Lower your risk by:
- Drinking plenty of liquids, such as water or fruit/vegetable juices. Stay away from drinks containing alcohol or caffeine.
- Keeping your house as cool as possible. Limit your use of the oven. Keep your shades, blinds, or curtains closed during the hottest part of the day.
- Spending time during mid-day some place that has air conditioning—for example, go to the shopping mall, movies, library, senior center, or a friend’s house.
But, don’t let the heat stop you from exercising! Check out this 20-minute Go4Life exercise video you can do at home.
