Summer heat can weigh heavy on your health. This is Judy Gaman and this is your stay young medical minute. With record high temperatures, it’s not just about comfort, it’s about health. We all need to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, but there’s even more to consider in the dead of summer. Even what clothing you wear can affect you. Put away the synthetic fibers and tight clothing and instead wear fabrics that breathe, such as cotton. This helps you stay cooler because the air can circulate, but this air movement will also help prevent heat rash and yeast infections. And while you may be on a summer diet, eating frequent snacks, rather than heavy meals will keep from taxing your system and raising your body’s natural heat. Start and end your day right with a cool refreshing shower. Hot showers can actually increase your body temperature and make it harder to cope throughout the day. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by a leader in preventative medicine. Learn what a trip to the Lone Star state can do for you. Visit EMTexas.com that’s EMTexas.com
