Be good to your body in high temperatures: Drink water often!
Are you drinking enough water this summer? Kenneth G. Pearce, MPH, Health Commissioner for the Lorain County General Health District reminds residents, “Water is the most important nutrient to the body; making it especially important to focus on re-hydrating in the summer months.” Water helps maintain body temperature, carry nutrients and oxygen, and protects our bodies by cushioning joints and organs.
Stay ahead of dehydration. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by the time you feel thirsty, your body has already lost one percent of its total water amount. It is important to drink fluids before you feel thirsty.
Keep Hydrated…
- Drink up! Women should drink nine cups of water a day and men should try for 13, according to the National Institute of Health
- Avoid drinking large amounts of beverages containing caffeine, alcohol or sugar
- Drink two cups of water two hours before physical activity, and re-hydrate often both during and after exercise.
Think you’re dehydrated? Stop what you are doing and take care of yourself. Symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth, dizziness, weakness, muscle cramps, fainting and dark yellow colored urine.
