Heath/Wellness Update for January
January is bringing the colder temperatures for the new year. In cold weather, bodies lose heat faster than they can produce it, which can lead to serious health problems like hypothermia or frostbite. To prevent cold-weather related injuries for kids and teens keep in mind these few tips: Be aware of current and forecasted weather before going outside.If it is too cold, windy, or wet outside, consider an indoor workout instead. Warm up and cool down to prepare and restore muscles before and after a workout.Wear layers to make it easy to remove or add clothing as conditions and exertion levels change. However, be careful not to wear too many layers, as they may cause overheating and excess sweating.Wear technical fabrics that wick moisture and sweat, which can help your teen stay dry, close to the body. Staying dry means staying warm—and it may be hard for your teen to get warm again once wet. A middle layer of fleece or natural fibers can provide insulation, and water- and wind-resistance outer layers can help reduce loss of body heat and protect your athlete from the elements.Stay hydrated with water or a sports drink.Maintain a well-balanced diet.Bring extra shoes, socks, clothes and gloves to replace any item that becomes wet.https://www.choa.org/parent-resources/sports-medicineStay healthy and be well, Narcissa Atkinson, DNP, RN
