When it's warm out, especially humid, this is the time to slow down. The earth is trying to tell you this. I think that everyone should slow their pace when they are walking, running or over-doing themselves. Drink so much water, more than usual. This is a must. Hydration is very important to your well-being. Your body will tell you it's dehydrated, you just have to pay attention to the ques that it is giving you. Heat stroke is one of them. When you are out and about and you notice that you are getting dizzy, can't breathe right, and sweating a blue streak; sit down. Find a cool place, like a coffee shop or a mall and cool off. Even if you just sit down on a bench, it's better than nothing. Next, find your nearest store that has bottled water or one of your favorite cold beverages. Down that baby. Stay seated for as long as you can and then slowly but surely you can get up again to walk. Replacing your electrolytes is the most important thing, along with rest. While you are seated, take advantage of the scenery. Take some pictures with your phone, or read something. Another thing that is very important while humidity is at its peak is to breathe. Take some long, deep breaths at a slow pace. Within no time you will start feeling better. When all else fails, go home and rest. By taking a nap or just a small lay down can help you to get back to your normal self. Stay safe.
