Stay Hydrated – Recipes for the Road

The “dog days” of summer—those hot, sticky weeks in July and August—can take a toll on your body. Staying properly hydrated is one of the simplest and most effective ways to beat the heat and keep your energy levels steady. Water supports essential functions like regulating body temperature, circulating nutrients, and flushing out toxins. As temperatures rise, your body loses more fluids through sweat, even if you don’t notice it.

Simple ways to stay hydrated:

When the heat is at its peak, a little extra attention to
hydration goes a long way. Stay cool, stay refreshed,
and take care of yourself this summer.

Keep a water bottle with you and sip throughout the
day.

Choose hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers,
and leafy greens.

Limit dehydrating drinks such as alcohol or heavily
caffeinated beverages.

Drink more when you’re active or spending time
outdoors.

Listen to your body—signs like fatigue, headache, or
dry mouth can mean you need more fluids.
