Winter Exercise
Exercising or playing sports can be a wonderful way to spend time outdoors. It is a good way to get some fresh air and keep your body healthy. Some people do not realize, however, that exercising or playing sports-especially in a warmer climate-can become dangerous if you don’t know how to properly care for your body.
When you are exercising or participating in a sport, you can be prone myriad health issues, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion. Just as it is important to make your body the right nutrients and water it needs, it is important to understand the symptoms of heat-related illnesses.
Heat cramps may occur with intense exercise, and symptoms include dizziness, increased sweating, and weakness. Heat exhaustion can develop very rapidly with body temperature, headache, pale skin, and confusion. Heat stroke is more serious, and symptoms may include hot skin, dry skin, lack of sweating, confusion and even loss ofconsciousness.
The best ways to avoid any of these potentially serious problems is stay hydrated. It may also be best to avoid vigorous activity during the hottest part of the day. Make sure that you are dressed appropriately for the weather and wear clothes that are light in color and that do not weigh a lot. Also extremely important is to avoid getting sunburned. Use a sunscreen that had an adequate amount of SPF and reapply frequently if you are in the sun for an extended period of time. If at any time during your workout you begin to feel bad, slow down. It is best to take it easy than trying to burn some extra calories and lead to serious illness from heat. Remember to always listen to your body and ask for help if you feel you are facing a serious illness from heat.
