Summary
The earth's climate is warming, and the number of heat waves has increased in recent years.
 At the same time, the number of adults over the age of 65 is growing. Humans sweat and
 increase blood flow to the skin to cool their body when they get hot. Older adults do not do
 this as well as young adults. This makes it harder to safely be in warm and/or humid
 conditions. It is important to learn about cooling strategies for older adults to safely be
 in warm and/or humid conditions.
 
 There is compelling evidence that intermittent hand and forearm cold-water immersion
 effectively reduces the rise of core temperature during heat stress in older adults. However,
 it is still unknown if this is an effective cooling strategy for older adults. Furthermore,
 our laboratory has shown that folic acid supplementation improves blood flow responses in
 older adults. This may be beneficial to older adults during heat stress.
