Staying Hydrated in Extreme Heat

Did you know that as we get older, we tend to feel less thirsty? Combined with the fact that many people take medications that can lead to dehydration, you may feel thirsty very infrequently.

Here are 3 tips to increase your intake if you’re struggling:

1. Snack on watermelon and cucumber — watermelon is 92% water and cucumber is 96%

2. Focus on taking small tips — even just the amount that fits in a shot glass makes a difference!

3. Opt for water over diet sodas — while sodas can give you the illusion that you’re staying hydrated, they can actually dehydrate you
