SOLERA DIAMOND VALLEY | AUGUST 2018 5 LIFESTYLE DIRECTOR REPORT By Richard Booth, Lifestyle Director With the hot summer months extending their stay, exercising outdoors can be detrimental to your health. With that said, there are a few ways to avoid heat stress. First, make sure you take in plenty of fluids (water) to keep your body hydrated. For every 15 minutes of exercise make sure to drink eight ounces of water. Avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day (1 to 5 pm). Also make sure to wear loose, light colored and lightweight clothing. Finally listen to your body! The first stages of heat stress are muscle cramps, nausea, headaches, goosebumps, unsteady footing and or a decrease or stoppage in sweat. Stop exercising if you experience any of these symptoms. Following these steps will aid in continuing your health all year long.
