Water is essential as the heat notches up, but...
It is the delivery system for electrolytes! Don't make the mistake of thinking by just drinking water alone you will not get dehydrated. Can you O.D. on water? But of course!!! Too much with out replenishing your electrolytes can have an adverse reaction as well. That little white salty ring around your underarm and your neck after working in the yard is your depleted electrolytes. So, if your lightheaded and cramping a little in the calves, toes and fingers, and maybe a little nauseous... guess what? You're probably a bit dehydrated. Have some water and a banana and an electrolyte supplement.
Oh, and enjoy the heat!
