Start swigging even before you feel thirsty, then keep on drinking as replacing fluids lost to sweat is essential to keep cool and stave off dehydration. It’s best to drink plain old water, but you can fancy it up with some refreshing cucumber, mint or citrus. Try to avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can be dehydrating.
2. Skip the hot and heavy Watermelon feta salad jpg
Food, that is. No one feels like ramen on hot days for a reason. Go with a smoothie for lunch, or a salad for dinner. Water-rich foods that help keep you hydrated include cucumbers, watermelon, celery and lettuce. Skip fatty and fried foods and heavy meals. Your body works overtime to digest food and metabolize it, so give it a break by eating light.
