Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday everyone! It’s been hot and humid these days, which inspired this tip.
You know to stay hydrated, but also keep your electrolytes in mind.
When you’re sweating, you’re losing minerals, like sodium, even if you’re drinking enough water. If you lose enough of them, you can feel pretty terrible (ask me how I know!). You’ll be in no shape to perform if that happens.
The easy solution is to keep some appropriate snacks on hand during hot weather. Nuts, potato chips, pickles and pickle juice (two for one!) are all pretty good for replacing sodium. Coconut water and bananas have potassium.
I used go camping for two weeks in August every year, which could be very brutal. I’d bring a tube of Pringles, which I don’t normally like. If I found myself craving Pringles, I knew I was in need of electrolytes and I’d have a few chips until they stopped tasting good.
And don’t forget the water!
