Hot day? Don’t let the heat catch you off guard!
When temperatures rise, it’s important to take extra care while staying active. Try these simple ways to keep cool:
1. Hydrate regularly: drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before and after exercise.
2. Choose cooler times: avoid exercising during the hottest part of the day and look for shaded routes where possible.
3. Eat hydrating foods: watermelon, cucumber, strawberries and lettuce are packed with water and can help keep you hydrated.
4. Dress for the weather: lightweight, breathable clothing can help you stay more comfortable.
5. Listen to your body: if you feel dizzy, weak, nauseous or unusually tired, stop exercising, find a cool place and rehydrate.
