Managing Crazy Summer Conditions
June was the driest month on record in Minnesota and the third hottest, and many outdoor activities across the state have been canceled due to smoke and dangerous air quality from Canadian wildfires. You might be wondering: Can I exercise on these hot, smoky days? Is there any safe amount of exposure? Should I even go outside?
Ask Sofia: Do you have any tips for excessive sweating?
While everyone is a little sweaty this time of year, some of us suffer from something called hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating—when you sweat more than your body needs to regulate its temperature, including while sitting still in an air-conditioned room.
Ask Sofia: When is bloating a concern?
Most bloating and stomach pain is caused by excess intestinal gas related to eating too fast, a food intolerance or a large meal.

Generally, bloating is not a cause for concern and will resolve on its own.
