Senior Spotlight: NEW Heat Health Blog

It’s that time of year and as summer approaches we have one thing top of mind – heat safety for seniors! It’s no secret that medications, acute and chronic conditions and changing weather tolerance impact how our body responds to higher temperatures. As summer nears, we wanted to highlight staying healthy in the heat a little differently this year.

Every summer, we publish a blog on ‘Staying Healthy In The Heat’ and frequently talk about sun exposure and skin cancer.

This year we encourage you to revisit those blogs, but also to listen to a new podcast from AARP on ‘Smart Summer Tips for Older Adults.’ In a quick 5 minutes, you can learn 3 uncommon but very useful tips on staying cool in the heat! 

BONUS Fact:  Did you know that extreme heat speeds up aging? A new study published recently in the journal Science Advances, shows that “Ongoing exposure to heat over 80 degrees accelerates biological aging, which is how your body ages on the inside at the cellular level, regardless of how many birthdays you’ve had.” Read all about it in full HERE.

No matter how much sun you seek or where you live, we hope that keep heat health top of mind this summer!

Stay safe, cool and hopefully a little carefree!
