 The All Star rosters have been announced and St. Louis area residents are proud to have three Cardinals on the National League Team (and to host the 80 th All Star game on July 14). While many are gearing up to head out to the stadium next week, I’m guessing you could also be like me and are playing or watching a few games of your own throughout the summer.
We’ve had some hot ones lately and instead of being gone like a grand slam, it looks like more are to come. So, while you are playing softball or watching the kids play tball, be sure to stay safe in the heat of the summer. Here are some heat wave safety tips to keep in mind:
- Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect away some of the sun's energy.
- Drink plenty of water regularly and often (even if you aren't thirsty). Your body needs water to keep cool.
- Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein, which increase metabolic heat.
Stay safe out there!
