Beat the Summer Heat: Why Water Isn’t Always Enough

Florida summers aren’t just hot — they’re relentless. And if you’re only drinking plain water to stay hydrated, you might be missing a key piece of the puzzle: electrolytes.

Sweating doesn’t just mean water loss — it means losing sodium, potassium, magnesium, and more. Without replacing those, even a short walk or light gardening can leave you feeling dizzy, sluggish, or even cramping.

Here’s how to hydrate smart this summer:

• Start early: Drink water + electrolytes in the morning — don’t wait until you feel thirsty.

• Avoid sugary sports drinks: Many are packed with artificial junk your body doesn’t need.

• Look for balanced electrolytes: You want sodium, potassium, magnesium — not just salt and sugar.

Staying hydrated isn’t about more water. It’s about the right kind of hydration.
