Surviving the summer heat
Health
Focus
James L. Phillips, M.D.
Baylor College of Medicine
Houston, Texas
Summer’s heat can take its toll on
both the young and old, so it’s im-
portant to take precautions when
the temperatures soar.
Heat ean drain precious fluids
from the body, leading to dehydra-
tion. One of the easiest ways to
avoid dehydration is to drink plenty
of water throughout the day.
Dr. Janice Zimmerman, an emer-
gency medicine expert at Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston,
urges people to drink at least eight
glasses of water a day unless ad-
vised otherwise by their doctor.
Cold water is preferable because it
is absorbed faster.
If strenuous outdoor activities are
planned, drink about 8 ouncesjof
water every 15 minutes and avoid
caffeine drinks.
Zimmerman cautions people not to
rely on thirst because it is not an
adequate indicator of the need fbr
water. By the time you are thirsty,
the body’s water reserves have al-
ready decreased significantly.
Additional tips for beating the sum-
mer heat include:
• Staying in the shade whenev er pos-
sible.
• Wearing loose-fitting, light-colored
clothing.
• Planning outdoor activities in the
mornings or evenings.
• Keeping a water bottle nearby all
day.
• Checking with your doctor or phar-
macist to niake sure medications you
are taking do not make you more
prone to heat-related problems.
Above all. watch for the symp-
toms of heat exhaustion which in-
clude fatigue, headache, mental con-
fusion, lighthcadedness, dizziness
and nausea. Heat exhaustion is
most common in people unaccus-
tomed to outdoor work or play.
Treatment includes resting in a cool
place and drinking water.
Left untreated, exhaustion can
lead to heat stroke, a life-threaten-
ing condition. If you have any ques-
tion whether someone is suffering
from heat exhaustion or heat stroke,
see a physician.
Heat cramps, a less serious con-
dition, often strike the stomach,
arms or leg muscles and can be re-
lieved by taking a break from activ-
ity and drinking water.
Following common sense guide-
lines and watching for signs of ex-
haustion will help you take the sting
out of summer heat.
RAPID PROGRESS is being made on the new HEB Supermarket in
Hondo. These two photos were taken just a few weeks apart.
