#Hydration
As temperatures rise over the summer, it is crucial for your health and well-being to stay hydrated.
Here are some tips to keep refreshed and hydrated for the rest of summer:
💧 Keep it in reach: Make water your go-to beverage when you’re out or carry your favorite reusable water bottle with you to stay hydrated on the go.
☕ Brew your favorite tea and serve over ice.
🥥 Try coconut water: Quench your thirst with coconut water! Packed with natural electrolytes, coconut water is a great alternative to sugary sports drinks.
🍹 Be creative with water add-ins: add slices of fruit, herbs, veggies, water flavoring or a combination to stay hydrated.
🍉Eat water-rich foods: Snack on juicy watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries or celery. Foods with a naturally high-water content will help boost your hydration levels.

Beat the heat! ☀
Make sure to exercise caution during the hot summer months to avoid heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses. If you notice feelings of confusion, profuse sweating, trouble breathing or skin that is red, hot and dry – you may be experiencing heat exhaustion or heatstroke.
When recognized in the early stages, mild heat exhaustion can be treated at home.
Take action:
🌡 Stop activity
🌡 Get out of direct sunlight
🌡 Drink water, juice or rehydration liquids
🌡 Cool down by applying cool compresses
🌡 Rest until you feel better
