This summer is turning out to be a bit on the warm side. I shouldn’t be surprised. Summer is supposed to be hot after all.

Want to beat the heat? There’s one simple solution: Hydrate. That’s right. Drink plenty of water and you’ll feel better about being in the heat. Just be sure to take in enough sodium with that water so you don’t accidentally flush the salt from your organs and die. Mix in a few sports drinks and you’ll be fine.

I’ve found, through my own experience, that you can do a lot in the heat so long as you are properly hydrated. Just because it’s hot doesn’t mean you can’t get out and enjoy your summer. Stay hydrated, keep enough salt in your system, and you’ll be able to do more and feel energetic. Just don’t overdo it.
