"Hot, Hot Summer: Death Valley at 130 + Help?!!!!?" ~ Cynthia G. Creel 6-28-2013



"Hot, Hot Summer: 

Death Valley at 130 degrees +
Help?!!!!?"

My Story:

Around 11 am I was on a ladder painting the side of a house and the the sun was already becoming hot. I didn't think it was that hot, until John came around the corner and said, "Come down right now!"
I thought he needed me to help him with something. It was kind of strange, not the normal way he would talk to me. As I stepped away from the ladder John moved me into the shade and handed me a glass of water.

I didn't even realized my body was having a major difficulty adjusting to the increase in temperature. My face had turned beet red without me even feeling a thing. 

Luckily, I wasn't one of the people who are working in the sun and drop over dead from sun stroke or being over heated. I could have been if John hadn't rescued me. The end result for the next 15 years my body was affected by the sun, even at 70 degrees (21 Celsius) I had to keep my head covered in the sun or I would get a terminus headache. During that 15 years and beyond I now have no effects of that hot summer's day. Today my body easily adjust to the temperate change, hot or cool. I am thankful on day like today and within the next week  we are going to experience California temperatures reaching above 100 degrees (37.7 Celsius) possibly reaching 110 degrees (43.3 Celsius). I am just thankful I am not in Death Valley, California, USA this weekend.


All time record heat on Earth 134 degrees (56.6 Celsius):

Today in Death Valley, California, USA it is suppose to reach near record temperatures of 130 degrees (54.4 Celsius) according to CBS news (1).

Beating the heat:

I am thankful my efforts to follow the True Path of Health lead me to no longer having the feeling like I was going to have sun stroke most ever time I ventured out into the sun, all year round. Hydration is key to helping the body to beat the heat. Drinking a soda is not "real" hydration, although it used to sound so great before I would have 2 or 3 sodas on a hot day. Never satisfied. 

According to WebMD (2) 

"The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report did not specify requirements for water but made General fluid intake recommendations based on survey data of 97 ounces (that's 11-plus cups a day) for women and 125 ounces (15-plus cups a day) for men. Remember these guidelines are for total fluid intake, including fluid from all food and beverages."

Final words:

Understanding what is affecting the body helps to keep our bodies working well. I learned the hard way how important it was to keep hydrated on a warm day by almost getting over heated. It seems like every summer on the local news there is some one who is roofing or doing something out in the sun and becomes over whelmed by it's affects and is injured or dies.

Take time to take care of yourself by keeping the body hydrated especially on extra hot days. 

Looking at the whole picture always helps me make a better choice. Be more proactive we can all become just a little bit better and the more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Stand up tall with an upright posture and be proactive. The solution  helps to keep moving the best direction is to step onto the path of True Health.  Discover a new world. Help yourself, help the world, step on to the Path of True Health and vote with your dollars  company you want to support to create a world you will love to live in. I do, and I like the world I am helping to create. Together we can create a better life for all to remember over their entire lifetime  Together we can protect what we have so we don’t need to live in a world that is second rate.
