REMEMBER TO HYDRATE! I am constantly encouraging my patients to add more exercise to their lives; but as the temperature starts to rise, and the weather entices us to get outside and become more active, it is more important than ever to drink enough water. We lose large amounts of fluid and electrolytes through our bodies’ cooling mechanism of perspiration. So, drink up! A nice alternative to those high-calorie sports drinks is to add a tiny pinch of natural sea-salt and a shot of lemon juice to our water bottles. Enjoy the nice weather, but play safe!
Yours In Health,
