In the summer, many of us enjoy outdoor activities, whether it be swimming, hiking, gardening, or simply sitting out on the deck with a good book. While the summer heat allows us to have fun in the sun, it also can lead to dehydration.
Here are 8 tips to stay hydrated this summer:
1. Make water your drink of choice.
2. Drink water with every snack and meal.
3. Carry a reusable water bottle at all times.
4. Try a fruit and herb infused water or carbonated water.
5. Keep a pitcher of water in the fridge or on the table for easy access.
