Medical Director for Renowned Los Angeles Jewish Home Offers Top Tips to Elderly in Coping With Searing Temperatures Across U.S.

Date:6/30/2008

- Eat light, healthy foods that do not need to be cooked.

-- Drink cool, non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages.

-- Do not use appliances such as the oven or dryer during the hottest parts of the day.
-- Turn off lights, they emit heat.

-- Use cool towels around face and neck.

-- Use handheld or portable fans.

-- Keep a spray bottle with cold water handy to cool off with.

-- Do not engage in strenuous activities.

-- Freeze water in bottles to use as ice packs.

-- Dress in light fabrics like cotton.

-- If outdoors, stay in shaded areas near trees or water.

-- Cover windows that are exposed to direct sunlight. -- Limit time on computers as they also release significant amounts of heat.

"It's important for all of us to realize how incredibly vulnerable this segment of the population is during the summer months," Smith said. "Any of us who have loved ones in this age group should try to visit them as much as possible during days like this, and watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke."
