Ready to move your exercise routine outdoors? As the temperature climbs, so does your risk of suffering from a heat-related illness. Review the list below to stay safe as the mercury rises:

• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water the day before, the day of, and after your workout.
• Avoid exercising between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the hottest period of the day.
• Wear a hat and sunglasses to reduce exposure to the sun.
• Be aware of the symptoms of a heat-related illness and take immediate precautions if you begin to feel faint, dizzy, nauseated, are sweating heavily, or experiencing a weak or rapid heartbeat.

Dreaming of a summer get-away that doesn't bust your budget? As you plan your trip, consider these money-saving travel tips.

• Comparison shop airport options. Big cities often have multiple airports, or smaller ones nearby. The cheapest option might be worth the drive.
• Pack a single carry-on bag. Many airlines are charging up to $100 for each checked piece of luggage. Plus, if your luggage is lost or delayed, you may have to purchase new items for your vacation.
• Consider vacationing with friends or family. Sharing a rented townhome is often less expensive than staying in a hotel. Check out www.airbnb.com, a vacation rentals service that matches travelers seeking cheaper short-term accommodations with private rental options.
• To save on food, many websites offer deals at certain restaurants, so be sure to research any specials before you hit the road. Or, rent accommodation with a kitchen so you can cook "at home."
• Convert to foreign currency before you leave. Many airport currency exchanges and foreign ATMs often charge hefty fees, so it is best to change your money at a bank before you leave.
• Staycation instead. The best way to save money might be to take a few days off to explore your city or one nearby. You might be surprised to discover that you don't have to travel far or spend a lot of money to feel like you got away from it all.

May is Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention month, the perfect time to brush up ways to protect your loved ones, since warmer weather means more time spent soaking up the sun.

Each year, 3.5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed, making it the most common form of cancer in the United States. The good news is that skin cancer is easily cured if detected early, so doctors recommend that you perform a monthly self-examination. Here's what to look for:

• A skin growth that increases in size and looks pearly, translucent, tan, brown, black or multicolored.
• Any brown spot (including moles, birthmarks, etc.) that:
• changes color or texture
• increases in size or thickness
• is irregular in outline
• is larger that ¼ inch
• appears after age 21.
• A spot or sore that continues to itch, hurt, crust, scab, errode or bleed.
• An open sore that does not heal within three weeks.

It's grilling season! When planning your next outdoor menu (see kebobs recipe below!), one item you'll definitely want to leave off the plate is foodborne illness-here's how:

• Wash everything - Before and after cooking, wash all indoor and outdoor surfaces that will come into contact with food. Be especially careful to wash everything that comes into contact with raw meat or poultry and wash your hands often to prevent contamination.
• Marinate safely - If you plan on marinating raw meat, do so in a covered container in a refrigerator, not on the counter. This decreases the risk of bacteria.
