Out comes the sun and all kinds of summer fun! To truly enjoy these summer months, we must also be aware of the possible dangers that come with hotter weather. Summer sun can cause sunburns, heat stroke and exhaustion. In preparation for a safe, fun summer, here are some helpful guidelines: Stay hydrated. Even without summer sun, older adults are especially susceptible to dehydration, according to AgingCare.com. The body’s ability to conserve water reduces with age, as does a sense of thirst. It is important for older adults to drink lots of fluids and eat foods with high water content. Celery is a great example of one. Most people need about two quarts of water per day. Use sunscreen. Protecting the skin is always a good idea. A sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 is recommended by the Mayo Clinic. It should be applied generously and reapplied every two hours or more if a person is swimming or sweating. Ears, scalp, lips, nose, hands and neck are spots to remember! Cover up. When headed out into the heat or sun, it is best to wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothing. Wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses are also important for protective purposes. It is good to have a lightweight jacket handy to protect the skin from sun exposure, too.

Avoid being outside during the hottest hours of the day. The sun is at its highest spot in the sky at noon, and that is when the sun’s rays can cause sunburns in the shortest amount of time. That being said, the temperature peaks each day around 3 pm. Pay attention to the heat index. The Heat Index measures how hot it feels in any given place when relative humidity is factored in with actual air temperature. Both of those readings can be found on local weather websites. Medications and sun don’t always mix. Certain medications can cause increased sensitivity to sunlight. Sunburns, hives and rashes can result if one is not careful while on such medications. Research your medications before heading out into the sun.

Here Comes The Sun! With summer upon us...here are some tips for a safe season.

Did You Know? It can take weeks for a person’s body to acclimate to hot weather. It is smart to limit sun exposure, especially until one’s body is conditioned to it.

Flex your Memory Muscles this Summer!

With the upcoming warm weather don’t forget Mental Exercise is also

a crucial part of overall good health. Activities such as newspaper-

reading, card games, puzzles and board games can help with short -

long term recall by stimulating your brain. The brain, like any muscle,

needs exercise to stay in shape. The more exercise the brain gets, the

better it is at processing information. Remember this summer to use it

don’t loose it!
