Be Summer Ready: Hydration and Suncare Tips

Exercising in hot weather requires special attention to hydration and sun care. Implementing simple strategies can make a significant difference in maintaining optimal health and peak performance during these warm conditions.

Hydration is Key

Sweating increases in the heat, leading to a higher risk of dehydration. Here’s how to perform at your best through good hydration:

1. Adequate hydration before, during, and after playing sport can improve physical performance and endurance by maintaining optimal fluid balance and preventing dehydration-related fatigue.
2. Proper hydration and refuelling after exercise helps restore glycogen levels and repair muscles reducing the risk of injury and improving recovery time.
3. Hydration is crucial for cognitive function including focus, memory and decision-making abilities, all essential for optimal sports performance.
4. Maintaining adequate fluid and electrolyte balance helps prevent muscle cramps which can negatively impact sports performance.
5. Sufficient hydration is essential to regulate body temperature during physical activity, reducing the risk of heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses.

Stop Cramps

Pickle Juice is a 100% natural, purpose-built isotonic beverage designed specifically to stop muscle cramps and prevent them from returning thanks to its rich electrolyte blend. Rapid absorption ensures swift relief during intense workouts. It not only replenishes vital minerals lost through sweat but also offers a distinctive tangy flavour for a refreshing twist. Packed with electrolytes, Pickle Juice helps restore the body's balance, plus it contains no fat, calories or sugar!

Electrolyte Replenishment

In addition to water, electrolyte replenishment is crucial for maintaining the body's fluid balance. Hydralyte electrolyte sachet value packs, available in refreshing orange and apple/blackberry provide a concentrated source of electrolytes, including sodium and potassium, helping to replace the essential minerals lost through sweat. Incorporating Hydralyte into your hydration plan can prevent dehydration and fatigue during hot weather workouts.
