Don't Stop the Summer Fun
Summer is a time to have fun outdoors. Here are some ideas from Lenco on how to stay safe and healthy:
- Ramp up slowly when exercising, about ten percent a week, rather than going straight from nothing to an intense workout. It'll be more effective, and you'll avoid injury.
- Heat rash is different from sunburn. It's caused by blocked perspiration ducts, and you can avoid it with breathable clothing anmd oil-free sunscreen.
- Poison ivy can show up in surprising places. Look out for it -- it looks like this -- on the beach and in the park as well as in the woods. If you do brush up against some, wash immediately with soap and water.
Following these tips will help you have more fun this summer.
