10 Tips To Keep Seniors Safe In The Summer Heat

*Drink plenty of liquids - eight or more 8-ounce glasses per dayand or fruit juices - every day to stay hydrated.*Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages.

*Dress appropriately. Wear loose-fitting clothes in natural fabrics like cotton and dress in light colors that will reflect the sun and heat instead of darker colors

that will attract them. *When outdoors, protect your skin from damage by wearing hats, sunglasses

and a sunscreen of 30 SPF or more. *Stay indoors during extreme heat.

*If you do not have air conditioning in your apartment, go somewhere that does. A movie theater, the mall, a friend or relative's home or a community

senior center are all good options.*If you need to get out of the house and don't drive a car, call a taxi, a friend

or a transportation service. DO NOT wait outside for the bus in extreme heat.*If you are absolutely unable to leave the house and do not have air conditioning, take a cool bath or shower to lower you body temperature on extremely hot days.

*Temperatures inside the home should not exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit for prolonged periods of time.

*Know the signs of heat stroke (e.g flushed face, high body temperature,headache, nausea, rapid pulse, dizziness and confusion) and take immediate action

If you feel them coming on.

Laughter Is The Best MedicineHumor is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more

contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze.When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increaseshappiness and intimacy. Laughter also triggers healthy physical

changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immunesystem, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from thedamaging effects of stress. Best of all this priceless medicine is fun,

free, and easy to use.

Fun Facts About Our Nation! Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird,

but was outvoted by John Adams & Thomas Jefferson choosing the bald eagle. Over an estimated 150 million hot dogs will be consumed on July 4th.

That’s roughly one dog for every two people in the U.S. Over $211 million has been spent on the importation of fireworks from China.

The first 4th of July party held at the White House was in 1801. The 4th of July was not declared a national holiday until 1941.

More than 70 million Americans will BBQ on the 4th. The stars on the original American flag were arranged in a circle to ensure the colonies were equal.

Presidents John Adams, Thomas Jefferson & James Monroe all died on July 4 th.
