The Liberty Times Activities for the Members of Independence Village VOLUME 13, ISSUE 6 JUNE 2015 ANISE’S ANNOUNCEMENTS N I C O L E ’ S NOOK Summer has arrived and so has the San Antonio summer heat! Here are some tips to stay cool and well during the summer months: Plan outdoor activities for cooler early morning hours. Look for shaded areas to enjoy the outdoors, or consider visiting places with air conditioning on hot days. Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water and try to avoid caffeine. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothes. Lighter colors and cotton materials are best for warm weather. Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from overexposure to the sun. Signs of dehydration or heat exhaustion are less pronounced in seniors due to aging, certain medications, and chronic conditions. Speak with your doctor about how these circumstances could change your body’s ability to manage heat. Another great tip to beat the summer heat is to join us for many of our activities that are planned for June!!!! Have a Joyful June! Nicole Mills Community Director Source: www.medicalnewstoday.com FOOD DRIVE It’s that time again!
