National Hydration Day
Under the hot summer sun, the games get intense. National Hydration Day, on June 23rd, reminds us to replace fluids lost in combat's heat.

More than 60% water is found in the human body. It's impossible to strike a healthy balance while training. And doing it during the summer months is a habit that must be consistent. Being overheated or dehydrated can result in heat stroke and possibly death.
By being hydrated before a workout even begins, you can help avoid dehydration. This simple step will lead to a more effective workout. Once the sweating begins, staying or catching up on hydration becomes difficult. Throughout the workout, drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Fluids can include sports drinks that contain electrolytes (Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, and Potassium) to replenish the body's essential minerals lost by perspiration.
Dual benefits are available for certain sports, such as FuelGardTM Mouthgard and Electrolyte Tablets. When the athlete trains, it shields the athlete and provides essential electrolytes for retaining hydration balance.
You'll need to continue replenishing fluids after the workout.
