And the Heat Goes On!

Summer Heat Safety Tips The hot summer weather is here to stay and now is the time to incorporate summer safety tips. The hottest parts of the day are between 10am and 4pm so use caution especially during those times. Whether you are working outside, exercising, or simply enjoying a weekend at the cottage with the family, it is important to practice safe heat measures to stay healthy. Hydration: Proper hydration is vital during hot and humid weather, but did you know that drinking water before, during and after being outside are all important steps? If you plan to exercise during hot weather, make sure to replenish electrolytes with juices or sport drinks. Plan a hydration schedule when you’re exposed to heat and humidity, where fluids are consumed 2 hours before, 15 minutes before, then every 15 minutes while outside.
