Buckeye Wellness Tips

Keeping cool while active in hot weather

Exercising in hot weather puts extra stress on your body, so stay safe while exercising in hot weather by drinking enough fluids; don't wait until you're thirsty. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothes to help sweat evaporate and keep cooler. Avoid mid-day sun by exercising in the morning or evening and wear sunscreen to protect your skin. Watch for signs and symptoms of heat-related illness, such as muscle cramps, weakness and nausea. If you ignore these symptoms, your condition could worsen and result in a medical emergency. To learn more, visit http://www.nursing.osu.edu/BWT

Buckeye Wellness Tips are brought to you by University Chief Wellness Officer and Dean of the College of Nursing Bernadette Melnyk, in partnership with Your Plan for Health.
