heat related illness during the summer, especially during extended periods outside and exercising. The AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EXERCISE provides very specific guidelines on hydration • Drink 17 to 20 ounces (2-2.5 cups) 2-3 hours before you start exercising. • Drink 8 ounces (1 cup) 20-30 minutes before you start exercising or during your warm-up. • Drink 7 to 10 ounces (1-1.25 cups) every 10-20 minutes during exercise • Don’t wait to drink water until you are thirsty, stay ahead of things • Our urine is a good indicator of hydration, the clearer the urine the better our hydration level, so as strange as it my sound, check the toilet bowl Sunscreen application plays a major role in South Florida year-round, but especially in the summer when the beaches and pools provide havens to beat the heat. Some key points to remember when applying sunscreen are: • Apply 15 minutes prior to going outdoors, this allows the skin to absorb the sunscreen lotion • Use a sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher that protects from both UVA and UVB rays • Be sure to reapply every two hours or after being in the water or sweating • Avoiding sunburn will help ward off both short term and long-term illness and help your summer flowmuch more smoothly. Everyone knows how important a good night sleep is to our overall health, and how important it is to stick to a regular sleeping pattern. This can be more difficult during the summer, because there is an urge to stay up later with the longer summer days. This can be a slippery slope, because lack of sleep can deregulate our immune system, blood sugar levels, increase body inflammation, and increase stress levels. Your body will thank you if you can keep a routine sleeping pattern in the summer. Follow these simple tips and you’ll be well on your way to having an awesome and healthy summer wherever your destinations may be. I want everybody fit and ready for our back to school family obstacle course in September!
