Follow these tips to safely enjoy the sun and travel with Parkinson’s:

Summer days are here. For many, that means a summer trip or enjoying the extra sunlight to try a new outdoor activity. Summer is also the time to get your vitamin D. Did you know that our bodies can store Vitamin D from the summer to last through the winter?

Fun in the Sun

☼ Know your spots. Look for a skin growth, mole or beauty mark that changes in size, color or texture.
☼ Look for “sun sensitivity” listed on medication warning labels, which can increase your chances of sunburns.
☼ Every day before leaving your house use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more.

Prevent Overheating

☼ When outside, stay hydrated. Drink water even if you are not thirsty.
☼ Exercise Smart. Try to exercise outdoors in the early morning or late afternoon when it’s cooler.
☼ Know the signs of heat stroke: flushed face, high body temperature, headache, nausea, rapid pulse, dizziness and confusion.

Traveling Tips

☼ Bring your Aware in Care hospitalization kit,  ID bracelet and card everywhere. Order your free Aware in Care kit at www.awareincare.org.
☼ Rest the day before your trip AND the first full day you arrive.
