heat

Most people would agree that it feels great to be in a sauna, and you feel great when you come out of the sauna too. You’ll likely feel rejuvenated, fresher and even lighter than when you went in. All these good feelings are no deception, having a sauna feels good because it is good for you in many ways. Now there are saunas which are dry, and steam saunas, which are obviously steamy and wet.

With summer in full force, it is important to be mindful when exercising in the heat. Heat cramps, dehydration, dizziness heat exhaustion and even heat stroke can be brought about by overexerting yourself in summer temperatures. Heat stroke is a form of hypothermia where the body has an abnormally high temperature. It can be fatal and even lead to death.

When the summer arrives the heat comes with it, and so our need to keep hydrated increases. With so many different ideas on how much water you need it can be difficult to decide what is best for you. The best way to determine your daily water needs (and everyone has them), is to look at your lifestyle: How much time are you spending in direct sunlight, how much are you sweating and how much exercise are you getting.
