Wellness Tips from Advocate Health Care
At Camp, it's not just the players bringing heat. The sun and high temperatures can get in the way of you enjoying your day. To stay cool, keep these essential tips in mind:
- Drink water before you're thirsty. Notable signs of dehydration include excess thirst, dark-colored urine and feeling dizzy, tired or woozy.
- Protect yourself against the sun. Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and wear a baseball or wide-brim camp, sunglasses and light-colored clothing to help stay cool.
- Recognize the signs of heat-related illnesses. Seek assistance if you experience heat cramps, excessive body temperature, nausea, confusion or trouble breathing.
- And of course, don't forget to wash and sanitize your hands frequently.
