Work Place Stress

Now that summer and Hot Weather are approaching,
it is time to think about how the Hot Weather affects
you and what you need to do to protect yourself and
your Health.

The change from the outside heat into a cool air
conditioned place can cause Stress on your immune
system which can caused colds in the middle of
a hot summer.

At first the cool air will feel great but too long
exposure will cause a Stress on your immune system
resulting in a summer cold.

If you work in an air conditioned office be sure to
have a sweater or some type of cover to prevent
getting too cold form the cool air. Usually the
temperature in buildings have to be lower during Hot
Weather to keep computers and other machines
from over heating.

When working out side be sure to have plenty of
water handy. Your sweating will cause a water loss
and that needs to be replace in order for the body to
stay cool. Even if you don’t sweat, the body may still
need extra water since this is how the body works to
stay cool. Sweat usually doesn’t gather on the skin
in dry hot air.

Try to stay out of the direct sunlight, if you can’t
wear a hat to keep the sun off your head.

Light color clothing will be cooler than dark colors.
Also try to wear clothing made from natural fibers.
The synthetic cloths act as an insulator and keeps
the body heat trapped next to your skin causing
you to be hotter.

In Hot Weather protect yourself from the Stress
placed on your body. It is up to you to care for
your self and your Health.
