As we get into the very dog days of summer, focusing on hydration is key to keep up energy, focus and overall health.

Here are five easy ways to stay ahead and handle the heat.

1. Start hydrating before you’re thirsty - 16 to20 oz of water within an hour of waking up.

2. Replace what you sweat out - add electrolytes after a workout to make sure you have proper sodium and potassium.

3. Eat your water with things like watermelon, cucumbers or oranges - these will help replenish fluids naturally.

4. Carry a reusable bottle wherever you go – you drink more when it’s convenient and accessible.

5. Check your urine color, it’s one of the simplest ways to know if you’re staying hydrated - aim for a pale yellow color throughout the day.

WALNUTS = S***M HEALTH

While no single food is a silver bullet for s***m health, studies have shown that a daily intake of walnuts will lead to improvements in both vitality and motility.

Walnuts are full of folic acid (folate, vitamin B9), which is an essential vitamin for male fertility. In addition, walnuts also contain other essentials such as omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, vitamin B6 and zinc.

SUMMER HEAT & S***M HEALTH

Did You Know: Semen is made up of more than 90% water. Staying properly hydrated, especially during the hot summer months, helps support healthy semen volume and overall reproductive function.

Here are 5 simple ways to stay hydrated and support healthy s***m production all summer long.

1. DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE THIRSTY - Thirst is a sign you’re already becoming dehydrated. Keep a water bottle nearby and sip throughout the day.

2. EAT YOUR WATER - Foods like watermelon, strawberries, cucumbers, oranges, and pineapple can help boost hydration while providing vitamins that support overall health.

3. SWEAT = WATER LOSS - After workouts, outdoor sports, or long days in the sun, make sure you’re replenishing fluids and electrolytes.

4. LIMIT EXCESSIVE HEAT EXPOSURE - Hot tubs, saunas, and prolonged heat can temporarily impact s***m production. Give your body a chance to stay cool during peak summer temperatures.

5. PRIORITIZE SLEEP & RECOVERY - Hydration works best when paired with quality sleep. Aim for 7-9 hours per night to support hormone production, recovery, and overall reproductive health.
