Electrolytes:
Hydrating in the Heat

Hydrating in the heat is essential for optimal health. Electrolytes help regulate fluid balance, nerve and muscle function, and maintain a stable blood pressure and heart rate.

Symptoms of low electrolytes include muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness and confusion. Here are some good practices when choosing an electrolyte drink:

  • If you are in the heat for extended periods or working out for over an hour, choose a drink that contains 250-500 mg sodium per serving

  • If you are not eating for extended periods of time, choose an electrolyte drink that contains carbohydrates

  • Watch for additives like caffeine and sugar—neither of these are good for you while in the heat
