Heat Wave - Drink Plenty of Water

Your body needs fluids, especially when the weather is hot. Why? Because you sweat a lot when your body gets hot. Sweating is good because it helps keep your body cool, but if you don't replace the fluids lost, you may wind up dehydrated. I explain why you need to drink water when the temperatures rise: Why Do I Need to Drink Water When the Weather Is Hot?

I don't like to drink water no matter how hot the weather is. Why? I don't like the way it tastes. A lot of people think that's weird because water doesn't really have any flavor. I was a picky eater as a kid so maybe that's related, I don't know. Anyway, if you're like me you can still get enough water by choosing other beverages or flavoring your water with a slice of lemon or lime. I also like sparkling water. You can choose flavored waters too. Just because they're flavored doesn't change the fact that they're almost completely water.
