• If you exercising or playing outdoors in the heat, take regular breaks and drink a sports beverage like Gatorade-it contains important electrolytes that are commonly lost when you perspire and gives your muscles energy from the carbohydrate content. The sodium content helps retain those fluids in your body longer, thus promoting hydration.

Never try to over exert yourself in extreme heat, if you aren’t habituated to it. Eat properly, drink plenty of fluids and most important-listen to your body to stay fit and safe from heat related health risks.
