Focus on Heat-Related Illness
 Your health care expert is Mark Grier, M.D. Pediatrics, ARC Quarry Lake
It's hot, how can you stay active and be safe?
Dr. Grier encourages coaches, athletes, and students exercising outside to be careful about heat-related illness during the ongoing Central Texas heat. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that there are almost 6,000 ER visits each year for sports and recreation heat illnesses.
"Pace your activities, drink more water than usual, exercise earlier or later in the day when it's cooler, and rest in the shade or indoors," Dr. Grier recommends. "Be smart and stay cool!"
