Keeping Hydrated in the summer

Okay, we all know to drink plenty during the hotter days but not all drinks will keep you hydrated!

Symptoms of dehydration include: dry or sticky mouth, sleepiness or tiredness, dry skin, and headache.

Any drinks that contain the following will cause dehydration:

• Alcohol – beer, wine, spirits, etc

• Fizzy drinks – often have high levels of salt and sugar

• Energy drinks – often have a high level of caffeine and salt

• Tea and coffee – typical black tea and coffee with caffeine will cause dehydration – many fruit and herbal teas are OK

• Milk and dairy – the Whey in milk can cause dehydration

So that’s all the fun drink off the list! But what can I drink:

• water!

• alkaline drinks

• fruit juice from water melon, grapefruit, and celery

• coconut water
