[QUOTE="Feeder Hawgg, post: 354305, member: 8018"] A couple of things that you need to do in addition to the hydration and they involve your diet. First of all cut out all caffine and alcohol. These act as diuretics', meaning they speed the de-hydration process. Eat smaller portion meals with fresh fruits and veggies, cut out the heavy greasy foods. When you work in the heat, leave the cap at home, 80% of your body heat escapes through your head, hands and feet. If you do become overheated, lie down with your feet elevated, removing your shoes. This will reduce the stress you are placing on your heart and subsiquently lower your blood pressure and temp. Remember you eat and drink today for the job tomorrow. Oh yeah, water at room temp, although not as refreshing, speeds the re-hydration process. The body has to warm the water to absorb it into your system. Lived in Alabama all my life and these work.
