As summer temperatures heat up, be sure that you stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids. Dehydration is the root cause of heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Dehydration occurs when your body loses a significant amount of fluids along with essential salts and minerals. On hotter days it is important to consume more water. The need for water also increases if you are taking part in any sort of physical outdoor summer activities. It’s always a good practice to take frequent water breaks (about every 20 minutes) when exercising in high temperatures. Some experts suggest drinking 6-8 glasses of water every day, but the fluid requirement varies from person to person. I do recommend drinking water throughout the day to help you stay hydrated. If you’re not a fan of water, you can also add lemon, lime, or mint to your water to jazz things up.
Choose a Safe Reusable Water Bottle
I will admit, bottled water is undeniably convenient, which is why it’s probably so popular and why I purchase it (along with my unfounded fears regarding drinking our tap water). But then I ask myself why I am wasting so much money on bottled water when there are other alternatives available.
There are a lot of water bottle companies on the market today, producing a huge range of different bottles. How often have you found yourself at the reusable bottle aisle and had no idea what bottle to choose?
I have recently found that SIGG bottles are among the best in their category in terms of quality.
Not only do SIGG bottles impart no unpleasant plastic aftertastes to the water, but you will be doing your part to keep more
