Heatwave safety tips! Stay safe and take care of high-risk people! Those who are at the highest risk include people 65 and older, children younger than two, and people with chronic diseases or mental illness.... Closely monitor people who depend on you for their care and ask these questions: Are they drinking enough water? Do they have access to air conditioning? Do they need help keeping cool? People at greatest risk for heat-related illness can take the following protective actions to prevent illness or death: Stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as you can. Air-conditioning is the number one way to protect yourself against heat-related illness and death. If your home is not air-conditioned, reduce your risk for heat-related illness by spending time in public facilities that are air-conditioned and using air conditioning in vehicles. Do not rely on a fan as your main cooling device during an extreme heat event. Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. Check on a friend or neighbor and have someone do the same for you. Don’t use the stove or oven to cookit will make you and your house hotter. Even young and healthy people can get sick from the heat if they participate in strenuous physical activities during hot weather: Limit your outdoor activity, especially midday when the sun is hottest. Wear and reapply sunscreen as indicated on the package. Pace your activity. Start activities slow and pick up the pace gradually. Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink more. Muscle cramping may be an early sign of heat-related illness. Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. If you play a sport that practices during hot weather, protect yourself and look out for your teammates: Schedule workouts and practices earlier or later in the day when the temperature is cooler. Monitor a teammate’s condition, and have someone do the same for you. Seek medical care right away if you or a teammate has symptoms of heat-related illness. Everyone should take these steps to prevent heat-related illnesses, injuries, and death during hot weather: Take cool showers or baths to cool down. Check on a friend or neighbor and have someone do the same for you. Never leave children or pets in cars. Check the local news for health and safety updates.

The Modern Assessment of Health When you’re thinking of losing weight or simply want to see how healthy you are, you probably do one of two things: step on a scale or calculate your BMI. But the truth is, these methods don’t tell you anything about how healthy you are all weight and BMI do is compare how heavy you are to a standard that doesn’t fit your individual goals. When you’re trying to get healthier, you’re most likely going to lose fat and (hopefully) gain muscle. Bu...t BMI and weight don’t differentiate between muscle and fat. So how can you? Through body composition analysis. Body composition analysis is a method of describing what the body is made of, differentiating between fat, protein, minerals, and body water to give you a snapshot of your health. InBody is in the business of body composition analysis, and we’re here to teach you the importance of it today’s day and age to help you reach your health goals from the inside out.
