REMEMBER TO HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE
Water is a crucial component to the summer experience in more ways than you might think. Water accounts for about 70 percent of the human body, making it an essential fluid. Water drives physiological processes such as digestion and controls our body's internal temperature through perspiration. Warmer summer temperatures cause our bodies to work harder to stay cool, resulting in an increased loss of hydration. To prevent excessive fluid loss, drink a minimum of 2.5 liters per day. Increase this number by 250-500ml with each added hour of physical activity.
