We are definitely advocates of spending time outdoors at Outdoor Environments, but with the summer heat reaching high numbers we want you to take certain precautions. Below are some tips on how to stay safe and cool this summer season from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- You need to regulate your time spent outdoors, especially for infants, young children and people over the age of 65. Try avoid being outside during the extreme high temperatures of the day.
- Constantly stay hydrated with proper liquids, this does not include soda or alcohol.
- Take precautions when exercising or working outdoors in extreme heat. You are more likely to experience heat sickness.
