Serenity Health Resources - Your Place for Healing
We hope you are all enjoying this amazing summer. But,
please make sure to take care of your health during the
current record breaking heat wave we are experiencing.
Heat Cramps, Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke are all
possible in this type of weather. You can prevent
heat-related illnesses by staying well hydrated; making
sure that your body is able to get rid of extra heat and by
being sensible about exertion in hot, humid weather.
Perspiration is your body's main system for getting rid
of extra heat. As long as blood is flowing properly to your
skin, extra heat from the core of your body is "pumped" to
the skin and removed by sweat evaporation. If you do not
sweat enough, you cannot get rid of extra heat well.
Becoming dehydrated will make it harder for you to cool off
in two ways: you won't sweat as much and your body will try
to keep blood away from the skin to keep your blood
pressure at the right level in the core of your body. But,
since you lose water when you sweat, you must make up that
water to keep from becoming dehydrated. If the air is
humid, it's harder for your sweat to evaporate -- this
means that your body cannot get rid of extra heat as well
when it's muggy as it can when it's relatively dry.
The best fluid to drink when you are sweating is water.
Electrolyte drinks (our favorites- Recharge by Knudsen or
ElectroMix by Alacer) will also work… Just don’t overdo
them.
It's also important to be sensible about how much you
exert yourself in hot weather. The hotter and more humid it
is, the harder it will be for you to get rid of excess
heat. The clothing you wear makes a difference, too: the
less clothing you have on, and the lighter that clothing
is, the easier you can cool off.
A little tip to help you cool off when overheated…run
some cold water over your wrists for a few moments – works
every time!

all illnesses. If stress is not resolved, symptoms appear.
The L.I.F.E. System is a cutting-edge, PC-based healthcare
tool which reads the body’s cells and assesses physical and
emotional responses, including nutritional deficiencies,
allergies, toxins, hormones, organs, circulation, digestion
and much more.
It’s purpose is energetic balance and optimal health for
the individual and a path to better healthcare. Chris also
