Keeping hydrated in warm weather
Being from Arizona I have always known how important water is to stay healthy and hydrated and safe. (Ever heard of heat stroke or heat exhaustion? That stuff is real.)
And now that I regularly drink at least 64 ounces a day (but usually more–today I have consumed almost a gallon of water) my body needs it. And I notice pretty quickly if I am dehydrated or haven’t had enough water.
For the past couple of days the weather has been exceptionally warm, especially for this time of year in the Bay Area.
I went to a Giants baseball game yesterday. I didn’t take my big purse, which I normally carry and can fit my Camelbak water bottle in quite easily.
I wanted to bring water with me as I would be doing a lot of walking and it was warm out. But I didn’t want to carry one of my Camelbak water bottles as they are a little bulky without my bulky purse to store them in.
I grabbed my foldable water bottle, filled it up and attached to my small purse. My foldable holds 12 ounces (or how I like to refer to it, 1 1⁄2 servings of water).
It was really warm at the game. I had just one beer and made sure to keep refilling my foldable.
I kept myself hydrated during and after the game. And while practicing yoga.
