Increased risk for heat-related illnesses and deaths as temperatures rise: Data
SALT LAKE CITY () — With , the danger for heat-related illnesses and even death increases — and it's only going to get worse as temperatures get more extreme due to climate change. According to data from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services on heat-related deaths in Utah from 2019 to 2024, a total of 47 people died in the past five years of heat-related illnesses in Utah. The most common heat-related causes of death were hyperthermia (heat stroke) and dehydration. The five counties with the most heat-related deaths during that time were: Salt Lake County, 11 deaths Washington County, eight deaths Grand County, seven deaths San Juan County, five deaths Utah County, four deaths Dr. Casey Londer, who has practiced emergence medicine for 15 years, told that the most vulnerable populations to heat-related illnesses are the elderly, people with comorbidities, children, and pets. Salt Lake Co. crews conduct 4 rescues over Memorial Day weekend Heat is most deadly when the temperatures are highest — the summer — but there are several times within the summer that cases of heat-related illnesses go up, Dr. Londer said. The first of those times is 'the very end of spring or beginning of summer, when people are sort of not really used to how hot it is,' Dr. Londer said. He added that it's especially bad when the temperatures increase suddenly. The second wave is the end of July to the beginning of August, when 'when we get those long, dry heat waves that never end, and I think those are sort of dangerous for a bunch of reasons,' Dr. Londer said. Homeless populations are especially at risk, as are people without air conditioning in their homes. 'I think we've seen in the emergency department during these really hot kind of prolonged heat waves, higher numbers of folks coming in,' Dr. Londer said. As temperatures continue to increase year after year due to climate change, heat is only going to become more dangerous. 'The hotter it gets, the more you see heat injury. I mean, that's just the common sense basics,' Dr. Londer said. As with many issues, the first step to staying safe is having information and planning. 'Recognition is a big initial precaution… is just sort of knowing what the weather is going to be so you can plan your day,' Dr. Londer said. This applies of course to something like planning to bring water on a hike, for example, but it is also important to plan any time you are going to be in the heat and recognize the risks. Plan to go outside early in the morning or late in the evening and taking a long break in the day, making sure your AC unit is in working order, and getting HVAC filters cleaned are a few other precautions that Dr. Londer mentioned. 'If you're in the middle of a prolonged heat wave and your AC goes out, and you can't get someone to come help you for a few days, then you could potentially be at risk,' Dr. Londer said. Driver in Idaho crash that killed 7 people had a blood alcohol content of .20, police say It is also important to know the , according to Dr. Londer, especially the more severe symptoms such as cramping, heat rash, and extreme fatigue. If you encounter someone who is suffering from heat stroke, rapid cooling is very important, Dr. Londer said, in addition to replacing fluids with water with electrolytes in it. He also said that removing layers of clothing can help facilitate sweating, because heat stroke can make it so that a person can't sweat anymore. However, if it is that severe, Dr. Londer said it is always a good idea to seek medical attention. As the summer heats up, Dr. Londer suggested that everyone make sure 'that you look out for your elderly family members or neighbors, during a prolonged heatwave, just check in with them, make sure they've got the resources that they need to stay cool during the hot summer months.' With temperatures increasing, many people will flock to the water to try to beat the heat, but that can also prove deadly. The Provo River is especially dangerous this weekend due to seasonal high-water levels. The Utah County Sherriff's Office is warning the public to be careful. They said to watch your kids, stay away from the water, and keep pets on a leash. Sergeant Dallin Turner with the Utah County Sherriff's Office told 'One slip is all it takes.' Is your name Ryan?

I tried every diet going but finally lost 8st using 5 simple principles – you can do it too, and more really is more
AT her heaviest, Nicole Dvoracek tipped the scales at 17st 8lbs. She was constantly dieting, bingeing in secret, crying in dressing rooms and living in a body she desperately wanted to escape. 5 5 Now, aged 40 and a trim 9st 2lbs, she is more confident than ever. And she says it's all down to more, not less. 'It took me 15 years to get here, but it didn't need to take that long,' says Nicole, from Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. 'If I could go back and talk to my 25-year-old self, I'd say: 'You're not broken, the plan is'. 'I tried everything, and it all failed' Nicole's story is painfully familiar. Like many women, she entered adulthood bombarded with toxic diet culture. 'Eat less. Move more. Starve to be worthy.' That was the message. The result? Years wasted bouncing between keto, Whole30, fasting, Optavia, HCG drops, and extreme calorie restriction. 'They all worked… until they didn't,' Nicole shrugs. 'I'd lose the weight, feel hopeful, then gain it all back, plus the 'courtesy 10lbs'. Over and over again.' Eventually, she found herself trapped in a cycle of emotional eating, shame, and burnout. Everything changed the day Nicole hired a coach, not for another crash diet, but for a custom strategy that considered her hormones, her stress, her sleep, and her lifestyle. 'That man didn't just change my life, he saved it,' she says. 'He finally gave me the tools to stop dieting, and start living.' Since then, Nicole hasn't just kept the weight off for good, she's helped hundreds of women do the same. Her masterclass teaches what she calls 'cheat codes' to sustainable fat loss. And spoiler: none of them involve starving. 'The fastest way to your dream body? A slow, sustainable plan that actually works long term. Shocker, right?' she says. Nicole's five 'no BS' fat loss rules 1. Protein is queen 'Eat 0.7 to 1g per pound of your goal weight,' Nicole says. 'Every day. No exceptions.' This could be as simple as swapping your usual breakfast cereal and milk for Greek yoghurt sprinkled with nuts, or your pasta salad lunch for one with chicken breast or tuna. 2. Track like a ninja 'You're eating more than you think,' Nicole says. 'Macros matter - especially protein and fibre.' Macronutrients, or macros, are the main types of nutrients your body needs to function properly: protein, carbohydrates (including fibre) and fats. Some experts suggest tracking macros instead of calories is a better way to losing weight. To calculate your macros, first work out your approximate calorie needs. You can use a tool like the TDEE Calculator. Then divide this figure into proportions for each macronutrient based on a set target. This could be: 30/30/40 - 30 per cent from protein, 30 per cent from fat and 40 per cent from carbs 40/40/20 - 40 per cent protein, 40 per cent carbs and 20 per cent fat 50/30/20 - 50 per cent from carbs, 30 per cent from protein and 20 per cent fat Convert these targets into the number of grams of each macronutrient you need to eat to meet your calorie requirements. 3. Lift heavy s*** It's time to ditch the treadmill and head for the weights. 'Cardio won't build your dream body. Strength training will,' Nicole says. Join a gym, or buy some dumbbells or kettlebells which you can use at home. You can try one of The Sun's at-home strength sessions to get you started. After A-list abs? Give our ' flat tummy plan ' a go. Want toned shoulders to look good in strappy tops and bandeaus this summer? You can get ready for sunny season with these five exercises. And if slender legs are your goal, try these simple moves in front of the TV. 4. Walk every damn day 'Walking 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day is free, easy, and insanely effective,' Nicole says. If you are nowhere near 2,000 steps a day, let alone 10,000, or the recommended 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week, it is time to get moving. Moderate activity raises your heart rate, makes you breathe faster and feel warmer – while vigorous movement takes it further, so you really get a sweat on. Moderate intensity activities include: brisk walking, riding a bike, dancing, pushing a lawn mower and doubles tennis. Vigorous activities include: running, swimming, walking up the stairs, football and aerobics. Chores such as changing bed sheets, vacuuming, scrubbing floors and washing the car, and even standing up and walking around the house when you're on the phone, rather than sinking into the sofa, will all add to your exercise tally too. So if you are not a Lycra bunny, there are still ways to start fitting more movement – and more steps – into your daily routine. 5. Ditch the diet mentality The days of hellish restriction are over. 'It's not about less - it's about more,' Nicole says. 'I'm talking more food, more muscle, more freedom.' 5 5 5 Nicole is now a no-nonsense, tough-love fat loss coach who's become a lifeline for thousands of frustrated women battling their bodies and their mindsets. On TikTok, she has over 1.2million likes. Her signature program, the Fat Loss After 40 masterclass, is flipping the script on everything we thought we knew about weight loss. Nicole's work doesn't stop at nutrition and training. Understanding how often women are dismissed by traditional healthcare systems, she's added a hormone optimisation team to her coaching services. 'We create truly customised plans, going far beyond the tired 'eat less, move more' advice,' she says. 'It's the reason behind the life-changing transformations my team has produced.' 'This is the secret sauce,' Nicole adds. 'It's not just about fat loss anymore. It's about building a foundation for lifelong health.' Nicole is blunt when it comes to the lies women have been sold. She says that quick-fix plans often leave women looking like 'melted candlesticks'. 'If you're losing weight without strength training or protein, you're just a smaller, squishier version of your old self,' she says. 'That's not toned. That's skinny fat.' 'You're not lazy, you're misled' Now, her focus is on building muscle, restoring metabolic health, and empowering women to stop obsessing over the scale. 'Your metabolism isn't broken. Your plan is,' she says. Nicole's transformation didn't just change her physique; it changed her purpose. She now works with women navigating menopause, hormonal imbalances, and burnout, giving them real tools to get their bodies (and lives) back. 'You can't diet the way you did at 25,' she says. 'You need a plan for this season of life.' And she's clear on one thing: you're not lazy, you're misled. 'You're not undisciplined. You've just been fed bulls***',' she says. 'The quick fix is what's keeping you stuck.' Down 120lbs and radiating confidence, Nicole is living proof that transformation is possible, without sacrificing your sanity, your social life, or your favourite foods. 'This isn't just about fat loss,' she says. 'This is about freedom. About showing up in your life fully, confident, strong, and finally in control. 'Once we get it off, we keep it off. That's my promise.'
