have you ever spent a hot afternoon playing ball with your friends or running around the park with your dog? bet you were pretty sweaty and thirsty when you finished. that thirst was a sign of dehydration. dehydration means that your body is losing more fluids than it takes in and that’s not good. don't depend on your thirst to tell you whether or not your body needs a refill. make sure you drink water a few hours before gearing up for physical activities, and keep drinking after you're done playing to stay hydrated.

when your body temperature gets hotter than its normal 98.6 degrees your brain sends out a distress signal that causes you to sweat, which cools you down. your body, like an air conditioner, has an internal thermostat that control its temperature. whenever your body heats up from physical activity or the hot weather outside, your internal air conditioner turns on and you begin to sweat. and remember, now that your air conditioner is using its coolant, your sweat, it is important to refill the tank by drinking lots of water.

drinking water before, during, and after physical activity is one way to keep your body's air conditioner working. to your body stay cool,
top off your tank a few hours before you hit the court, the field, or your own backyard by drinking about two cups of cold water. keep a water bottle handy to guzzle during water breaks, halftime, or time outs. try to drink about 10 ounces — that's about 10 large gulps from your water bottle — every 15-20 minutes.

even after the game ends, the chugging shouldn't; the more you sweat, the more water you need. drink bottled water or water right from your own sink. stay away from drinks that have caffeine, carbonation and lots of sugar, like sodas and tea. sports drinks are good when you're active, but not if you're just hanging out. they have high levels of sugar, salt, and potassium that you don't really need unless you are working your body hard.

when the temperature outside begins to soar, your body heats up faster. to stay cool and beat the heat, play outside during cooler parts of the day. the day is usually hottest between 10 a. m. and 4 pm., so find a shady bike path to ride or skate on, plan some indoor activities, take a dip in the pool, or play games under the sprinkler. most importantly, listen to your body. if you feel weak, dizzy, or thirsty, take a break in the shade, grab your water bottle and tell a grown-up. now that you know how to beat the heat, get out there, stay active, and keep cool! \

effective ways to rehydrate
bill willoughby

milk is one of the foremost rehydration beverages you can find. it is a highly nutritious drink, containing loads of calcium which your body needs to preserve bone health. however, what you may not realize is that milk is more effective than sports drinks and any other rehydration powder or rehydration products you try. this is especially true in instances where your body undergoes excessive fluid loss due to strenuous physical activity.

however, this does not mean you can go for any type of milk. you have to go for the skimmed or fat-free variety. this will ensure your calorie and fat intake remains minimal while your body gets the hydration and calcium it needs. the reason for this is that excessive fat intake can curb fluid retention, making it difficult for you to properly rehydrate.

if you go for fat-free or skimmed milk, you get ample quantities of sodium and calcium, and at the same time, your body will be able to retain fluid better.
