Stay Fluid this Summer
Health Notes from Dr. Liz
During these dogs days of summer, warm temperatures put demands on your fluid needs. Especially if you are exercising or playing in the heat, you can lose tremendous amounts of fluid as sweat that quickly evaporates from your skin, helping your body cool. Most adults lose anywhere from 1 to 2 quarts of sweat per hour of exercise outdoors, while children lose a quart or less an hour.
