Today was an incredibly crazy day. We woke up and went go, go, go from sun up to sun down. We were literally driving and walking and visiting and shopping and eating and moving from early morning until 9:30pm at night. Around 7pm we were sitting on a bench watching the dogs run at the park and my mind went swimmy. I got dizzy just from sitting on a bench. It was then that I realized I was running around in the summer heat all day and I hadn't drink a single drop of water all day. I am totally inspired now to hydrate my body more. I have good days and bad days on this and lately I've been drinking less and less water which is bad as it's getting warmer as summer comes rolling in. I've put together a list below of Summer Hydration tips below s we can all keep hydrated this summer.
- Carry a cold water bottle with you wherever you go.
- Fill a an ice chest with ice an water bottles when going on long drives.
- Drink a glass of water before every meal and every snack.
- Drink a glass of water when first getting out of bed and right before going to bed.
- Drink a glass of water before drinking soda, juice or other sugary drinks.
- Pack water filled foods for lunches like watermelon, oranges and iceberg lettuce.
- Drink a full glass of water before and after working out.
- Keep a pitcher or container of ice cold water in the fridge or a water cooler in the kitchen to make sure cold, fresh water is always available.
- When you get tired of drinking water, jazz it up with lemon wedges, mint sprigs or cucumber slices.
- If you feel thirsty or hot, drink water immediately.
