Drink Up, Your Life Depends On It
Hot summer days are a fun reprieve from the brutal winter. Unfortunately, more time outdoors often results in more visits to our Urgent Care. Over the years I’ve gotten the same questions and concerns regarding the most prevalent summer-related medical problems.
One such common issue is dehydration. Especially when there’s a heatwave and the humidity can be cut with a knife, the excessive sweating depletes your hydration. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” There isn’t a more apt way of letting you know how easily dehydration can be prevented. Simply start your day by drinking water with electrolytes such as Powerade, Gatorade, and Vitamin Water.
