Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How to exercise safely in hot weather
A sweat-inducing heat dome over 40 degrees covered much of Western
Europe last month, forcing France to ban public Alcohol consumption. FIFA
introduced a mandatory three-minute hydration break into each half during the 2026
World Cup held in North America. As this summer in the Northern Hemisphere isn’t
going to be much cooler than last year, how should you keep exercising outdoors?
In hot conditions, your body tries to cool itself by sweating and diverting
blood towards the skin, which puts extra strain on your heart and could lead to
heat exhaustion, or, in the worst case, heat stroke. Since quitting exercise could
put your long-term health at risk, you need to adopt practical methods to
maintain physical activity, such as choosing the time and place to exercise,
adjusting the menu depending on the temperature and humidity, pre-cooling or
cooling down smartly, and consulting your body when to rest or stop. One thing
you want to avoid is pushing yourself to the limit in the heat. After all, you’re
exercising for your long-term health.
Read the article and learn how you should keep exercising in summer.
