With the start of the 2012 summer, remember to take extra care as the temperatures and humidity climbs in your area.
If you are going outside during the daytime heat, be sure to drink plenty of liquids and avoid drinks with caffeine (coffee, tea, and some types of soda) or alcoholic beverages that actually take water from your body.
Try to limit your time outside during the warmest hours of the day and dress to best protect your skin from overexposure to the sun.
If you are indoors, but you are still having trouble staying cool, try to get to a public place with air conditioning like the local library, Council on Aging, senior center, shopping mall, movie theatre, or your local place of worship.
