【推荐3】This summer, climate change continues to push Earth’s weather to extremes.     1     We invite some experts to discuss the science behind exercising in the heat, how to keep your body safe, and what to do if you suspect you or someone you’re with has heat exhaustion.

    2     If you had a heavy meal like a cheeseburger, you’ll want to wait two to three hours before your hot outdoor exercise, since that fat and protein-rich meal will take even longer to move through the digestive process. Should you eat after that hot run? No. You can hydrate right away, but wait until you’ve cooled off to eat. That’s because digesting food will delay getting your body back to its usual temperature.

Protect your skin — it’s the body’s cooling system. Your skin and related tissues are incredibly designed to move warm blood away from your core to keep your vital organs cool. Any damage to your skin or the underlying tissue prevents your body from being able to air condition itself. To protect your skin, start with sunscreen.     3    .

Wear materials that will help your body breathe.     4     Wear sweat-wicking athletic clothing that allows your skin to cool. Avoid materials like cotton that basically keep the heat close to your body.

Hydrate before, during and after exercise. Dehydration can really happen to you.     5     Besides, keep drinking while you’re working out.

A．Don’t eat right before you head out.

B．Try more heat-friendly forms of exercise.

C．The type of suitable clothing you wear can also help you stay cool.

D．But high outside temperatures in a dry climate can also be dangerous.

E．Is a daytime run or bike ride in hot summer weather OK for our bodies?

F．And consider wearing sun-protective clothing that blocks the sun, and include a hat.

G．Make sure you are drinking water at least an hour before you head out to exercise.
