Need more than a glass of water?
July’s Heatwave Glow Guide edition concentrates on the basics to help you through this summer: electrolytes and hydration.
The signs of dehydration aren’t always as obvious as thirst. But why is it important to know this?
Warm weather is something many of us look forward to, but prolonged periods of heat place extra demands on the body. Even mild dehydration can leave you feeling tired, light-headed, sluggish and unable to perform at your best.
Why Hydration Matters
Water plays a vital role in almost every function of the body. It helps to:
Regulate body temperature.
Maintain blood volume and circulation.
Transport nutrients and oxygen.
Support brain function and concentration.
Lubricate joints.
Aid digestion.
Support healthy kidney function.
Maintains healthy looking skin.
When temperatures rise, your body loses more fluid through sweating. If these losses are not replaced, dehydration can develop surprisingly quickly.
Early Signs
Headache
Brain fog
Fatigue
Dizziness
Dark urine
Your Heatwave Hydration Top Tips
Carry a reusable water bottle.
Drink regularly throughout the day.
Replace electrolytes after prolonged sweating.
Eat your water…with water-rich fruits and vegetables such as watermelon and cucumber.
Adjust your training routine – avoid over exerting yourself, going for a run or playing sports during the middle if the day when the outside temperature peaks
Avoid prolonged sun exposure – this sounds obvious but we don’t always feel the negative impact until later when its too late.
Listen to your body—early symptoms are easier to correct than severe dehydration. Brain fog or irritability may be your first sign.
