Summer Games Gone Wrong

Summer games gone wrong?

Summertime is ripe with opportunity—both for fun outdoor activities and for the accidents or mishaps that happen along the way.
Even if your training routine is nowhere near that of an Olympic athlete, you can run the risk of injury or dehydration. Train smart! Drink water and take the necessary time to recover.

Drink water every 15 to 20 minutes of physical activity to prevent dehydration.

Five Signs of Dehydration:

1. Muscle cramps
2. Rapid breathing and heartbeat
3. Dizziness and headaches
4. Dry mouth and skin
5. Fever and chills

Should you use ice or heat for injuries?

Train like an olympian—while keeping your joints strong, flexible and healthy—with this easy recovery advice:

• ICE eases inflammation and swelling, and can numb pain
• HEAT eases stiff joints, achy muscles and relieves stiffness after inflammation
• Ice helps:
  • Strains, or the pulling of muscles
  • Sprains, or the tearing of ligaments
  • Tendinitis, or severe irritation in the tendons attached to joints
• Heat helps:
  • Arthritis, or the loss of cartilage in the joints
  • Tendinosis, or chronic irritation in the tendons attached to joints
