Extreme Heat: Too Hot for Your Health

Prevent heat problems by doing the following:

¨ Drink plenty of liquids, such as water or juices.

¨ Avoid drinks that have caffeine or alcohol in them.

¨ If your doctor has told you to limit your liquids, be sure to ask what you should do when it is very hot.

¨ Eat well-balanced, light meals. Avoid hot, heavy meals.

¨ Use air conditioning and fans.

¨ Open windows on two sides of the building if you do not have fans or air conditioning.

¨ Keep curtains or blinds drawn during the hottest part of the day.

¨ Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothes.

¨ Don’t try to exercise or do a lot of activities when it is hot.  Reduce or reschedule activities.  Do activities in the early morning or in the evening.

¨ Avoid crowded places when it’s hot outside.

¨ Avoid too much sun.  Stay inside during the hottest part of the day, noon to 4 pm.

¨ Pay attention to weather reports (temperature & humidity).

¨ If you do not have any air conditioning, try to spend at least two hours a day (between noon and 4 pm if possible) in an air-conditioned place, such as a shopping mall, a movie theater, a library, a senior center, or a friend’s house.

If you think you can’t afford to run your air conditioner or if you need transportation to an air-conditioned place, please contact the Union-Snyder Agency on Aging, Inc. at 524-2100 or 374-5558.
