*** When the heat index gets above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, be sure not to exercise strenuously in this heat, especially jogging or other hard exercise as there is a high risk of heart attack even if you are young. Keep those fluids flowing in and eat cold foods like ice cream to keep your body temp lower when you have to go out in the heat. The heart has to work over time when the heat rises this much so be sure to take it easy and take it slower to help your heart. Stay cool! :)
