Staying hydrated is very important for your health and well-being in any season. As little as 1% to 2% reduction in fluids can lead to difficulty concentrating. A 3% reduction will cause your coordination to decrease as well. Staying hydrated is a key to getting the most from your body, as well as keeping it  healthy.

Sweat is the way your body cools itself, so we also need to look at electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium, and chloride. These nutrients, which are lost through sweat, are important for maintaining the body's fluid balance. Therefore, it is important to replace them during periods of exercise. Whether you get them by drinking water, tea or through  eating fruits and veggies doesn't matter, just get them. If you dehydrate and stop perspiring, you are in danger of overheating.
