Clinton, DO<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/sports-medicine\">sports medicine<\/a> physician at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cFirst, your internal cooling system kicks in, and you sweat. Then, as perspiration evaporates from your body, it lowers your temperature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If humidity is too high, sweat doesn\u2019t evaporate, pushing your body temperature even higher. If you become dehydrated, your body runs out of fluid to produce sweat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo cool itself, the body sends more blood to the skin, leaving less for your muscles, and increases your heart rate,\u201d Dr. Clinton says. \u201cIf you can\u2019t find a way to rehydrate and bring your core temperature down quickly, heat-related illness can develop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Depending on how high your core temperature gets and how quickly you rehydrate, the result can range from mild discomfort to a life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of heat-related illnesses in order of severity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat cramps:<\/strong> These painful muscle contractions usually occur with exercise. However, your body temperature does not need to be elevated to experience these uncomfortable spasms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat exhaustion:<\/strong> Your body temperature can go as high as 104\u00b0 F. You may experience nausea, vomiting, weakness, headache, fainting, sweating, and cold, clammy skin. Heat exhaustion can escalate to heat stroke without prompt treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat stroke:<\/strong> This is a life-threatening emergency, and it\u2019s important to call 911 immediately. With heat stroke, body temperature rises above 104\u00b0 F and skin may be dry from lack of sweat. You may experience confusion, irritability, elevated heart rate, fainting, nausea, vomiting, and vision problems. You may even lose consciousness. Without prompt attention, you could experience brain damage, organ failure, or even death.<\/p>\n<h3>Know the Warning Signs<\/h3>\n<p>The warning signs of heat-related injury include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muscle cramps.<\/li>\n<li>Nausea or vomiting.<\/li>\n<li>Weakness.<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue.<\/li>\n<li>Headache.<\/li>\n<li>Excessive sweating.<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness or lightheadedness.<\/li>\n<li>Confusion or irritability.<\/li>\n<li>Increased heart rate.<\/li>\n<li>Vision problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you experience any of these symptoms, you need to lower your body temperature and rehydrate as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Cool Down Quickly<\/h3>\n<p>If you experience symptoms of heat-related illness from exercise or other activity, stop what you are doing and move to a cool, preferably air-conditioned, space. Drink water or sports drinks to rehydrate. To lower your core temperature, you can also place cool, wet towels, or ice packs on your neck and forehead and under your arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf these actions don\u2019t help reduce your body temperature within 20 minutes, it\u2019s time to seek professional medical care,\u201d Dr. Clinton says. \u201cAnd if you experience signs of heat stroke, you must get medical attention immediately, even if your core temperature is below 104\u00b0 F.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Tips to Avoid Heat-Related Illness<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to deal with heat-related illness is to avoid it by taking precautions. Here are some tips to keep you cool:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pay attention to weather forecasts and heat alerts.<\/strong> Be sure you know what the weather will be like for the entire time you will be active.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch the heat index.<\/strong> Temperature and humidity in combination determine the heat index \u2013 and your risk of heat-related illness. For instance, if the temperature is 84\u00b0 F but the relative humidity is 75%, the heat index\u2014the temperature your body experiences\u2014is 92\u00b0 F. That\u2019s above the recommended threshold of 90\u00b0 F for exercising outdoors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a gradual transition into heat.<\/strong> If you are used to exercising indoors or in cool weather, don\u2019t try to do your entire workout the first day you take it outside. You can increase the time and intensity of exercise as your body adapts to the heat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be realistic.<\/strong> If you\u2019re just getting into shape or if you\u2019re new to exercise, you need to be extra cautious when working out in the heat. Your body may not be able to bear the strain of a new activity and the heat simultaneously.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drink plenty of fluids.<\/strong> Your body\u2019s natural cooling system\u2014sweating\u2014depends on your hydration level. Be sure to replace fluids regularly. If you wait until you are thirsty, it may be too late.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t drink alcohol.<\/strong> That cold beer or frozen margarita may feel good going down, but it will actually make you lose more fluid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dress appropriately.<\/strong> Wearing lightweight, loose-fitting clothing helps sweat evaporate quicker. Avoid dark colors that can absorb heat. Wear a light-colored, wide-brimmed hat if your activity allows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time your activity.<\/strong> Exercise in the morning or evening when the sun is lower in the sky and it\u2019s likely to be cooler. Avoid the midday sun. No matter the time, try to exercise in the shade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try aquatics.<\/strong> Water-based exercises, such as swimming, water aerobics, or water walking, will help keep your core temperature down while giving you a great workout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wear sunscreen.<\/strong> Sunburn impedes your body\u2019s ability to cool itself and increases the risk of skin cancer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take it inside.<\/strong> If you\u2019re concerned about exercising outdoors because of the heat, move your workout indoors. Try exercising at a gym, mall walking, or climbing stairs in an air-conditioned building.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Understand your medical risks.<\/strong> Some medical conditions or medications can increase your risk of heat-related illness. Be sure to talk to your doctor about precautions you might need to take.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For many of us, the warm weather months are fleeting, and we want to make the most of them. Taking a few simple precautions can help you safely enjoy your time in the fresh air. Cooler weather will be here before you know it!<\/p>\n<p>If you need quick medical attention for a non-life-threatening condition, visit one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/urgent-care-center\/services\">Cooper\u2019s Urgent Care Centers<\/a> in Cherry Hill, Audubon, or Cinnaminson.

Consejos para mantenerte fresco<\/h2>\n<p>Ya sea que juegue voleibol en la playa o camine con energ\u00eda por su vecindario, esforzarse cuando la temperatura y la humedad son altas puede elevar su temperatura central a niveles peligrosos. Si no tiene cuidado, la diversi\u00f3n bajo el sol puede tomar un giro peligroso o incluso mortal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enfermedad relacionada con el calor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCuando su cuerpo se sobrecalienta, se enfr\u00eda de dos maneras\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/cody-clinton-do\">Cody B. Clinton, DO<\/a>, m\u00e9dico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/sports-medicine\">de medicina deportiva<\/a> en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cPrimero, tu sistema de enfriamiento interno se activa y sudas. Luego, a medida que la transpiraci\u00f3n se evapora de tu cuerpo, baja tu temperatura\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Si la humedad es demasiado alta, el sudor no se evapora, elevando a\u00fan m\u00e1s la temperatura de tu cuerpo. Si te deshidratas, tu cuerpo se queda sin l\u00edquido para producir sudor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPara refrescarse, el cuerpo env\u00eda m\u00e1s sangre a la piel, dejando menos para los m\u00fasculos y aumenta el ritmo card\u00edaco\u201d, dice la Dra. Clinton. \u201cSi no puede encontrar una manera de rehidratarse y bajar su temperatura central r\u00e1pidamente, se pueden desarrollar enfermedades relacionadas con el calor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Dependiendo de qu\u00e9 tan alta sea su temperatura central y qu\u00e9 tan r\u00e1pido se rehidrate, el resultado puede variar desde una leve molestia hasta una afecci\u00f3n potencialmente mortal.<\/p>\n<p>Aqu\u00ed hay una lista de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor en orden de gravedad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calambres por calor:<\/strong> estas dolorosas contracciones musculares generalmente ocurren con el ejercicio. Sin embargo, no es necesario que la temperatura de su cuerpo est\u00e9 elevada para experimentar estos inc\u00f3modos espasmos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agotamiento por calor:<\/strong> la temperatura de su cuerpo puede subir hasta los 104\u00b0 F. Puede experimentar n\u00e1useas, v\u00f3mitos, debilidad, dolor de cabeza, desmayos, sudoraci\u00f3n y piel fr\u00eda y h\u00fameda. El agotamiento por calor puede convertirse en un golpe de calor sin un tratamiento oportuno.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Golpe de calor:<\/strong> esta es una emergencia que pone en peligro la vida y es importante llamar al 911 de inmediato. Con un golpe de calor, la temperatura corporal sube por encima de los 104\u00b0 F y la piel puede estar seca por falta de sudor. Puede experimentar confusi\u00f3n, irritabilidad, frecuencia card\u00edaca elevada, desmayos, n\u00e1useas, v\u00f3mitos y problemas de visi\u00f3n. Incluso puede perder el conocimiento. Sin una atenci\u00f3n inmediata, podr\u00eda experimentar da\u00f1o cerebral, insuficiencia org\u00e1nica o incluso la muerte.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conozca las se\u00f1ales de advertencia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las se\u00f1ales de advertencia de lesiones relacionadas con el calor incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calambres musculares.<\/li>\n<li>N\u00e1useas o v\u00f3mitos.<\/li>\n<li>Debilidad.<\/li>\n<li>Fatiga.<\/li>\n<li>Dolor de cabeza.<\/li>\n<li>Sudoraci\u00f3n excesiva.<\/li>\n<li>Mareos o aturdimiento.<\/li>\n<li>Confusi\u00f3n o irritabilidad.<\/li>\n<li>Aumento de la frecuencia card\u00edaca.<\/li>\n<li>Problemas de la vista.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Si experimenta alguno de estos s\u00edntomas, debe bajar la temperatura de su cuerpo y rehidratarse lo antes posible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C\u00f3mo enfriarse r\u00e1pidamente<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si experimenta s\u00edntomas de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor debido al ejercicio u otra actividad, deje de hacer lo que est\u00e9 haciendo y mu\u00e9vase a un lugar fresco, preferiblemente con aire acondicionado. Bebe agua o bebidas isot\u00f3nicas para rehidratarte. Para bajar la temperatura central, tambi\u00e9n puede colocar toallas h\u00famedas fr\u00edas o bolsas de hielo en el cuello, la frente y debajo de los brazos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSi estas acciones no ayudan a reducir la temperatura de su cuerpo en 20 minutos, es hora de buscar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica profesional\u201d, dice la Dra. Clinton. \u201cY si experimenta signos de insolaci\u00f3n, debe buscar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de inmediato, incluso si su temperatura central es inferior a 104\u00b0 F\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consejos para evitar enfermedades relacionadas con el calor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La mejor manera de lidiar con las enfermedades relacionadas con el calor es evitarlas tomando precauciones. Aqu\u00ed hay algunos consejos para mantenerte fresco:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Presta atenci\u00f3n a las previsiones meteorol\u00f3gicas y las alertas de calor.<\/strong> Aseg\u00farese de saber c\u00f3mo estar\u00e1 el clima durante todo el tiempo que estar\u00e1 activo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Observa el \u00edndice de calor.<\/strong> La combinaci\u00f3n de temperatura y humedad determina el \u00edndice de calor y el riesgo de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor. Por ejemplo, si la temperatura es de 84 \u00b0F pero la humedad relativa es del 75 %, el \u00edndice de calor (la temperatura que experimenta su cuerpo) es de 92 \u00b0F. Eso est\u00e1 por encima del umbral recomendado de 90 \u00b0F para hacer ejercicio al aire libre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Haz una transici\u00f3n gradual hacia el calor.<\/strong> Si est\u00e1 acostumbrado a hacer ejercicio en interiores o cuando hace fr\u00edo, no intente hacer todo el ejercicio el primer d\u00eda que lo haga afuera. Puede aumentar el tiempo y la intensidad del ejercicio a medida que su cuerpo se adapta al calor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ser realista.<\/strong> Si reci\u00e9n se est\u00e1 poniendo en forma o si es nuevo en el ejercicio, debe tener mucho cuidado cuando haga ejercicio en el calor. Es posible que su cuerpo no pueda soportar la tensi\u00f3n de una nueva actividad y el calor simult\u00e1neamente.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beber mucho l\u00edquido.<\/strong> El sistema de enfriamiento natural de su cuerpo, la sudoraci\u00f3n, depende de su nivel de hidrataci\u00f3n. Aseg\u00farese de reemplazar los l\u00edquidos con regularidad. Si espera hasta que tenga sed, puede ser demasiado tarde.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No bebas alcohol.<\/strong> Esa cerveza fr\u00eda o margarita congelada puede sentirse bien, pero en realidad te har\u00e1 perder m\u00e1s l\u00edquido.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vestir apropiadamente.<\/strong> Usar ropa ligera y holgada ayuda a que el sudor se evapore m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido. Evite los colores oscuros que pueden absorber el calor. Use un sombrero de ala ancha de color claro si su actividad lo permite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cronometra tu actividad.<\/strong> Haga ejercicio por la ma\u00f1ana o por la noche cuando el sol est\u00e1 m\u00e1s bajo en el cielo y es probable que haga m\u00e1s fr\u00edo. Evite el sol del mediod\u00eda. No importa la hora, trata de hacer ejercicio a la sombra.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prueba los acu\u00e1ticos.<\/strong> Los ejercicios a base de agua, como la nataci\u00f3n, los aer\u00f3bicos acu\u00e1ticos o las caminatas acu\u00e1ticas, ayudar\u00e1n a mantener baja la temperatura central mientras te brindan un excelente entrenamiento.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Usar protector solar.<\/strong> Las quemaduras solares impiden la capacidad de su cuerpo para enfriarse y aumentan el riesgo de c\u00e1ncer de piel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ll\u00e9valo adentro.<\/strong> Si le preocupa hacer ejercicio al aire libre debido al calor, mueva su entrenamiento al interior. Intente hacer ejercicio en un gimnasio, caminar en un centro comercial o subir escaleras en un edificio con aire acondicionado.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Entienda sus riesgos m\u00e9dicos.<\/strong> Algunas condiciones m\u00e9dicas o medicamentos pueden aumentar el riesgo de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor. Aseg\u00farese de hablar con su m\u00e9dico acerca de las precauciones que podr\u00eda necesitar tomar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Para muchos de nosotros, los meses c\u00e1lidos son fugaces y queremos aprovecharlos al m\u00e1ximo. Tomar algunas precauciones simples puede ayudarlo a disfrutar de manera segura su tiempo al aire libre. \u00a1El clima m\u00e1s fresco estar\u00e1 aqu\u00ed antes de que te des cuenta!<\/p>\n<p>Si necesita atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica r\u00e1pida para una afecci\u00f3n que no pone en peligro la vida, visite uno de los <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/urgent-care-center\/services\">Centros de atenci\u00f3n de urgencia de Cooper<\/a> en Cherry Hill, Audubon o Cinnaminson.
