Why? Music affects our parasympathetic nervous system,
which slows our heart rate and breathing — much like when
you get ready for bed. Hence, by relaxing the body, music can
actually prepare it for sleep.

Researchers at McGill University’s Psychology Department
found that music can be more effective than prescription
drugs for reducing anxiety in adults before surgery. The study
also demonstrated that listening to music helps reduce corti-
sol levels (a stress hormone) in the body.

Did you know that the feeling of thirst subsides with age? It’s true! As we
get older, we feel less thirsty. That’s why the elderly are at greater risk of
developing ailments such as dehydration and heatstroke. Here are three
tips to help prevent discomfort this summer.
✶✳ ✄✂✌❆ ✞❖❚✍ ❖✝ ✎✥❚☎✄
Heatstroke happens when you neglect to keep yourself hydrated in a hot
environment. Therefore, it’s essential to drink regularly and eat lots
fruits and veggies with a high water
content (e.g. citrus fruit, melons
and cucumbers). Tip: al ways bring
a reusable water bottle wherever
you go.
✷✳ ✍❚✥✣ ✤❖❖✞
Turn your fans on and program
your air conditioning system to
maintain a comfortable room tem-
perature. Keep your blinds and cur-
tains closed during the day to pre-
vent the sun’s rays from heating
✦✧ ★✩✦✪ ✫✩✬✭✮ ✯✫✭✰ ✰✭✭✱ ✲✭✴ ✵✰✱
shelter in an air-conditioned area
such as a grocery store, restaurant, shopping mall or pharmacy to keep
your body temperature in check.
✸✳ ☎✹☎✄✤✂✍☎ ✂✌ ❚✆☎ ✁❖✄✌✂✌☛ ❖✄ ☎❱☎✌✂✌☛
When summer rolls around, plan your workout schedule according to the
outside temperature. Exercise in the morning or evening when it’s nice
and cool. Avoid strenuous activity during heat waves and those hotter
times of day.
✥✍❆ ✝❖✄ ✆☎✞☞❣
Heatstroke should be treated as a
medical emergency. If you or a
loved one is experiencing dizzi-
ness, nausea, vomiting, heada ches
or any other worrying symptoms
(e.g. rapid heart rate, irritated skin,
confusion), call 911.
Take advantage of the summer season to admire
