Health Tip: Hot, But Healthy

(HealthDayNews) -- Hot weather always brings the risk of heat stroke, which is the result of the body's inability to manage the heat properly, according to Johns Hopkins University's Bayview Medical Center.

Here are some tips on staying healthy in the heat:

• If working outside, try to do so in the early morning or after 6 p.m.
• If working in an area without air conditioning, drink a quart of water every hour.
• If your diet allows, use extra salt on foods.
• If it is extremely hot, consider spending the day in air-conditioned places, such as in a mall or library.
