Simple Steps for Summer Hydration

The summer season is in full swing, which means hot weather, outdoor activities, and the irresistible urge to play in the sun!

As much fun as warm weather activities are, it’s important to remember that certain health risks come along, too—namely, dehydration. Staying hydrated during the summer is essential, especially when temperatures reach the high 90s or triple digits, and if you’re engaged in vigorous activity.

Quick tips for staying hydrated:

Drink plenty of hydrating liquids, such as water or Fortune Delight®, and don’t wait until you are thirsty!

Keep cool with loose-fitting clothing made from light, cotton materials—tight fitting and dark colors hold heat.

When exercising or playing outdoors in the heat, take regular breaks and drink a beverage like Electrosport®—it contains 10 important minerals, including selenium that quickly helps rehydrate the body, and is exclusively formulated for ideal use after a strenuous workout or other vigorous activity.

Many fruits and vegetables are packed with plenty of hydrating liquids and are great as meals and snack options. Evergreen® is a great option, too, as it combines the nourishing aspects of green, leafy vegetables, with the hydrating power of water! Perfect for keeping your body replenished and hydrated during hot summer weather!

Most importantly, don’t over exert yourself in extreme heat. Eat right, drink plenty of fluids, and listen to your body.
