The weather in Nashville only has two temperatures, not hot and crazy hot. The summer days are in full swing, and by 10 o’clock it’s hot, hot, hot. It’s so important to stay hydrated when it’s this hot outside, so today I’m sharing 5 essential tips to staying hydrated in summer.

How to Stay Hydrated in Summer: 5 Essential Tips

1. Eat Foods With High Water Content – Did you know there’s plenty of healthy foods that have a high water content? Foods like watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, peaches, oranges, skim milk, cucumbers, lettuce, zucchini, celery, yogurt, tomatoes, bell peppers, cabbage, and grapefruit. Keep these things in your fridge during the summer for pool days, picnics, or snacks on the boat.
2. Cool Down – If you’re hot, take a second to cool down. Go inside and enjoy the air conditioning, sit under an umbrella, jump in the pool, or hold some ice/cold beverage on the inside of your wrist.
3. Adjust Your Exercise – If you exercise outside in the summer, you’re most likely using more energy, which causes you to get tired quickly. Switch to cooler exercises like swimming or cycling and exercise when it’s cooler, like in the early morning or evening. Also, make sure you drink water every 15 minutes while exercising and be sure your clothing is breathable and light colored.
4. Drink Pedialyte! – When dehydration strikes, there’s no better feeling than knowing I have the best solution to get back on my feet fast. The summer is short enough, don’t let dehydration take away any of that time!

I drink a ton of water, but I also make sure I drink Pedialyte.

I know what you’re thinking: it’s just for kids. WRONG! Adults can also enjoy Pedialyte and all its amazing benefits. Pedialyte products have an optimal balance of electrolytes and sugar to feel better fast. It’s the #1 doctor recommended brand for hydration!

The two products I end up using the most are Pedialyte AdvancedCare® Plus and Pedialyte AdvancedCare®. The Pedialyte AdvancedCare® Plus comes in the Berry Frost packets, and all you do is mix one packet of the powder with 16 fl oz of water. Stir or shake to dissolve.

The Pedialyte AdvancedCare® comes in a Cherry Punch flavor and replaces electrolytes and fluids.
