I’ve been drinking so much coconut water (with pulp) this week. I’ve been craving it like crazy and realized that it’s straight up my drink of choice when the temp is 75F and over.

    Your body moves water around using salt. Salt’s just another word for electrolytes. When you’re hot, you need more salt than you normally do. So drinking electrolyte water like Gatorade is good for you. But sugar is bad for you. So drinking salt water is much healthier than drinking sugar water with salt

    If you don’t have enough salts, you can’t regulate your temperature as easily, and you might get mild forms of heat stroke.
