Hydration for Summer: From water to electrolytes, and IV hydration
Summer brings sunshine, long days, outdoor adventures, and, if you're not careful, a higher risk of dehydration. Whether you're hitting the hiking trails, lounging at the beach, or recovering from a late night out, staying hydrated is essential for feeling and performing your best.
But what kind of hydration does your body need? Water, electrolyte packets, and IV hydration are all great options to keep you hydrated this summer. Let’s break down the benefits of each:
Water
Water is the foundation of hydration. It helps regulate body temperature, lubricate your joints, and flush out toxins. When you're sweating more due to the heat or engaging in physical activity, your need for water increases. Carrying a reusable water bottle with you and steering clear of alcohol or sugary drinks when out in the sun can help you stay hydrated.
Electrolytes
Electrolytes—like sodium, potassium, and magnesium—are minerals that help balance fluids, regulate your blood pressure, and support muscle contractions. When you sweat, you lose both water and electrolytes.
That’s where sports drinks or electrolyte powders can be helpful, replenishing what’s lost during intense activity. But be mindful, as some of these drinks are loaded with sugar or artificial ingredients. If you're sweating a lot or feeling sluggish, adding electrolytes can help rehydrate you more quickly and effectively than water alone.
IV Hydration
Sometimes, your body needs more than just fluids and electrolytes from a bottle. When you're seriously dehydrated or need to bounce back fast, IV hydration therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream for rapid absorption and instant relief.
