Keep cool in summer heat
Heat and humidity can not only
make you uncomfortable they can
make you ill.
According to Bob Lady, Director of
the Cumming-Forsyth County Civil
..Defense, the combination of heat and
humidty can be dangerous, but there
are several simple ways to protect
yourself against severe summer
weather.
Keeping as cool as possible during
the summer is important,” according
to Lady. “Not just for your physical
comfort and health, but also for your
mental outlook and attitude.”
Lady notes that when the air tem
perature is 100 degrees and the rela
tive humidity is 50 percent, the effect
on the human body is the same as if it
were 120 degrees.
High temperatures, even without
high humidity can be dangerous too,
points out Lady, and can easily lead
to serious heat-stress injuries such as
heat exhaustion and heat stroke. A
physician should be called for victims
.of these heat disorders.
■ Lady offers the following tips to
stay cool.
• Stay indoors as much as possible
and wear a minimum of clothing.
- • Cook meals during the cooler part
~of the day; prepare foods requiring
little or no cooking such as salads and
sandwiches.

• Drink plenty of fluids water,
fruit juices and caffeine-free bever
ages. Six to eight glasses of water
daily are recommended.
• Avoid beverages containing car
reine, a stimulant which constricts
blood vessels causing the body to
retain heat and increase blood pres
sure. Alcohol has the same effect and
also causes dehydration.
• Bathe often to remove dried per
spiration which retains body heat.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing made
of natural fibres such as cotton, silk
or linen.
• Close shades and drapes to block
out heat and sunlight.
• If your home is not air-condi
tioned, ventilate it as well as possible
open windows, use fans. Try to
visit air-conditioned public facilities
as often as possible during hot days.
• Do not take salt tablets. Research
shows that the human body loses
mostly minerals, not salt, during
excessive persiration. Mineral losses
can be replaced by drinking bever
ages especially designed for persons
engaging in sports, recreation or
work.

live more safely and comfortably
