Summer is just around the corner!
Living in Las Vegas makes it very important keeping your hydration up~
Caffeine containing drinks as well as alcohol will cause even further dehydration…
Make sure to have at least one gallon of water per day!
If you are drinking coffee or tea or anything else, add another two 8 oz servings of water per drink!
Dry lips? not feeling well? tired?
Maybe your water is not going where it is suppose to go?!
I like to add some coconut water to help with my electrolite balance!
In severe cases I have to drink a serving of G2 ( lower sugar gatorade) to make me feel better!
Use your workouts to get a great amount of water into your system!!!
Don’t wait until you get thirsty!!!
You are already dehydrated 🙁
In extreme heat doing high intensity workouts make sure not to cut your sodium.
Sodium belongs to your electrolites and unless you are over using it, it will be important for muscle contraction and regulating your potassium/sodium balance!
But remember all of our food contains sodium at its natural state!
Another sign of dehydration are swollen fingers, ankles, or other joints!
Dizziness……feeling disoriented….sweaty….cold sweat….achy….
Pay attention to your body, stay hydrated even if you are not thirsty!
And don’t ever go on long hikes without enough water.
It could save your life 🙂
