Here is this week’s healthy tip from The Monday Campaigns: Retreat from the heat!
Between 1979 and 2003, more Americans died from excessive heat exposure than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined. Extreme heat is a real concern that could cause serious health problems such as exhaustion, heat stroke, cramps, sunburn and rashes.

This week, take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses. Make sure to drink more fluids; avoid alcoholic and sugary drinks; wear lightweight, light colored and loose-fitting clothing; limit outdoor activity to the morning or evening and stay in an air-conditioned place during the afternoon heat.
