Not in Sandy, Oregon, the deadly summer sun is shooting its heat rays again. Do you know the signs of de-hydration? The heat claims the lives of many spry athletes every year. A person can train for cold or train for elevation, but no one can train for fluid loss–fluids must be replaced. Here is a link to my 5 Deadly signs of Heat Exhaustion. If you don’t know the signs of heat exhaustion, I urge you to read it. It could save your life.
Thank goodness drinking water or juices isn’t the only way the way to replenish fluids.
I addition to drinking water, eating wet foods alleviates fatigue, headaches and muscle aches brought on by dehydration. Here are some excellent re-hydration foods.
Fruits

  • Watermelon
  • Strawberries
  • Oranges
  • Catalope

Vegetables

  • Cucumbers (97% H20)
  • Zucchini (95% water)
  • Eggplant (92% water)

Weird Bonus Food you Probably didn’t cosider:

  • Warm Soup. Any watery broth based soup is good–clam chowder would not be so good.

I’m writing a post about electrolyte imbalance/post run nasties. I suffered from a mild case after a 9 mile run a few weeks ago. I was NOT dehydrated. I had plenty of water. I lost something else. Luckily, I discovered an easy fix.

    Sun poisoning can be dangerous so always avoid too much exposure to the sun. Wear some sunblock when necessary. You provide excellent information. Keep up the good work.
