    Fuel & Flavor - HYDRATION

    Get Your Waterbottle

    In hot weather, you can lose more than a liter of fluid per hour depending on your activity level, so make sure you always pack water on summer outings or have a water bottle handy if you’re in the heat.

    Check Your Hydration

    Even slight dehydration can impact mood, energy, and focus. Make sure you’re drinking enough water so that your pee is the color of pale lemonade.

    Food Can Help with Hydration

    Some foods can help hydrate you. Cucumbers, strawberries, watermelon and lettuce can all help you meet your hydration goal.

    Lighter Meals More Often

    Smaller, frequent meals are easier to tolerate in heat than large, heavy meals. Pair carbs + protein (like yogurt and fruit, a smoothie with some peanut butter, or crackers with hummus) to maintain energy and prevent fatigue.
