Whether you are on vacation on a tropical island or just hanging out in your backyard, there are chances that you will pass a lot of time outdoors this summer. If you enjoy reading a good book in your background with the sun beating down on you, or play a rough-and-tumble game of touch football summer, it's easy to work up a sweat and lose water you soak up those rays.
To beat the summer heat, you need to keep your body hydrated. Proper hydration is not only good for your brain, your mood and your body weight, but it is also essential for your heart.
Your heart is constantly working, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood per day. Staying hydrated - that drinking more water you lose - you are helping your heart to do its job. Hydrated heart is able to pump blood more easily, which allows the muscles of your body to work even better.
Dehydration causes pressure on your heart. The amount of blood circulating in your body, or blood volume decreases when you are dehydrated. To compensate, your heart beats faster, increase your heart rate and making you feel palpitations. Also your blood retains more sodium, which makes it harder for it to flow through your body.
So how much water should you drink to stay hydrated? It really depends on how much your body needs. Some situations where you should drink more water include:
- If you are exercising or doing other physical activities
- If you have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease [
- If you have signs of dehydration, such as dizziness or weakness.
Please also keep in mind that certain medical conditions (such as heart failure) may require varying hydration strategies and consult with your doctor if necessary.
