Stay Cool This Summer

With summer heat in full force it’s important to stay hydrated! Soaring temperatures
and outdoor physical activity can lead to excess water losses from the body through
sweating. Dehydration occurs when the amount of fluid losses exceeds fluid intake.
Proper hydration is essential for temperature regulation, keeping your cells healthy
and removal of wastes. The popsicles below are full of electrolytes including
potassium, chloride, and sodium. Naturally occurring sugars from fruit for example
are also essential for hydration as it enhances electrolyte absorption. Each of these
micronutrients play a role in maintaining fluid balance, acid-base balance and
regulation of nerve & muscle function. Keep cool and hydrated this summer by trying
these chilly treats!

Recipes:
Mango Electrolyte Popsicle
2 cups frozen mango chunks
1 1/2 cups coconut water
1 lemon juiced (about 1/4 cup lemon juice)
2 TB honey

Orange Rehydrating Popsicle
½ Cup orange juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 Cups water
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/8 tsp sea salt

Jello electrolyte pop
2 1/2 cups coconut water
1/8 tsp sea salt
3 tsp. flavored jello powder

Alcohol and caffeine promote excess loss of water.
Make sure to follow up every caffeinated or alcoholic
beverage with a glass of water or electrolyte Popsicle!
