With heat index values expected to exceed well over 100°F, staying hydrated is one of the easiest—and most important—ways to prevent heat-related illness.
Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Drink water consistently throughout the day, especially if you’re working, training, or spending time outdoors.
Remember to:
Drink water before, during, and after outdoor activity.
Replace fluids regularly throughout the day.
Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
Watch for signs of dehydration, including thirst, dark urine, dizziness, headache, fatigue, or muscle cramps.
Hydration helps your body regulate temperature, maintain energy, and reduce your risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Stay hydrated. Stay healthy. Stay mission ready.
