East Bay Senior Independent (EBSI), August 2018

August 1, 2018

Can you believe that the end of the summer is here and fall is on its way? If you haven’t already, take a trip to the beach with friends and family, enjoy Pier 39 in San Francisco or simply go to a park and enjoy reading a book in the shade. Wherever you go or end up, here are tips to stay cool and healthy:

1. Wear appropriate clothing: Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and a wide-brim hat outdoors.

2. Pace yourself: Cut down on exercise during the heat.

3. Stay cool indoors: Stay in an air-conditioned place as much as possible.

4. Schedule outdoor activities carefully: Try to limit your outdoor activity to when it’s coolest, like morning and evening hours.

5. Wear sunscreen: Sunburn affects your body’s ability to cool down and can make you dehydrated.
