Damn today was a warm one

[K Douglas]

I was on the links and got a lot of sun. Felt like 40°C out there. Been replenishing fluids like crazy. 1L of Gatorade and 2.5L of water and I'm still thirsty.

My recipe for a heat quencher is:

1. One liter of warm water,
2. One liter of cold S.Pellegrino mineral water,
3. Juice of one Lemon and one Lime,
4. A few Mint or Basil leaves,
5. Two table spoons of Honey

Mix well and put in a fridge overnight. The problem with it is that with the abrupt changes in the weather we have been having lately, tomorrow might not be that hot anymore. Actually I think the prediction is rain and much cooler tomorrow and Saturday.

I played 36 today. My last 9 was my best.

I will not complain of the heat. We had so much rain and cold in May and June. I am happy with some heat. Just sit by my pool all weekend, with a cold one.

I take coconut water plus some sea salt for dehydration: https://archive.earthclinic.com/cures/dehydration.html

Humidity is still low, it will get a lot worse when the humidity goes to 100%.

When it's January 5 I beg for days like today.

Went hiking yesterday, the Sodastream is paying for itself. Mixed in some mango extract and away I went. Stopped at Booster Juice on the way home for a shot of Wheatgrass.

Loved it.

Nothing hydrates better than plain water. Do NOT put salt in water to hydrate. And there are no biologically significant "trace minerals" in any of the fancy "sea" or Himalayan" salts. Take a One a Day Multivitamin and you are covered for minerals.

If you want to put anything in to make it taste better, citrus etc is fine. Coconut water is good too. Gatorade and the other sugar water poisons are shit. There is nothing electrolytically significant in them except marketing.

The fail is strong with your post.

When you sweat a lot you become dehydrated, which means you lose electrolytes. Salt, potassium and magnesium are probably the 3 most important ones.
But for me sea salt works the best. And I'm not saying you have to take grams of the stuff, just a few pinches is enough (so under 300 milligram or so).

Know the Signs of Dehydration

If you’re sick with diarrhea or vomiting, watch carefully for these signs of dehydration:

• thirst
• less frequent urination than normal
• dark-colored urine
• dry skin
• fatigue
• light-headedness
• inability to sweat

By the time these symptoms show up, however, dehydration may be well advanced. At the first sign of diarrhea or vomiting, begin replacing lost water and the essential salts called electrolytes

If you’re nauseated, keeping fluids down may be difficult. “Try sipping small amounts of water as frequently as possible,” advises Joshua Evans, MD, a physician at Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit and an expert on dehydration. Sucking on ice or frozen Popsicles can help increase fluid intake.

Water rehydrates the body. “But water alone doesn’t replace the essential salts required by the body for fluid balance and other functions,” Evans says. Replacing these essential salts is crucial during a bout of diarrhea or vomiting. Most experts recommend drinking oral rehydration solutions.

Dehydration experts also recommend remove excess clothing and/or seeking shade or an air-conditioned shelter to keep your body cool.
