Tips to beat the heat!

1. Two=Two. Two hours before activity, drink 2 cups (16 ounces) of fluids.

2. During exercise, drink 5 ounces of fluid every 15-20 minutes. Take advantage of breaks in your workouts to stay hydrated and keep your water bottle handy. Every large gulp or swallow = about 1 ounce of fluid.

3. Only the fluid you drink can keep you hydrated. Pouring fluids over your head to cool you off will feel good but won’t keep you from getting dehydrated.

4. Plan a schedule of drinking so you drink before you get thirsty. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to drink fluids.

5. Choose sports drinks or light (calorie-reduced) sports drinks if you are a heavy sweater and your exercise is of long duration and high intensity, especially in hot, humid conditions. A well formulated sports drink provides 6 to 8% carbohydrate (14 to 19 grams of carbohydrate per 8 ounces) and 100 to 110 milligrams of sodium. Sports drinks help replace fluid, carbohydrate, and sodium lost during exercise.

6. If you like (and can afford) coconut water, it provides about the same calories as sports drinks but 2.5 times the sodium and is packed with potassium. Some brands also contains fiber so you might find it upsets your stomach if you drink a large volume of it during exercise. Use our guide to coconut waters to help.


7. After exercise, drink 2 to 3 cups (16 to 24 ounces) of fluid for every pound of body weight lost during activity. Weigh yourself before and after a workout to find out how much water weight you usually lose.

8. Choose foods high in water; most fruits and vegetables are high in water with the added bonus of providing needed vitamins and minerals. A slice of watermelon on a hot summer day is great snack and fluid booster.

9. Don’t over drink during long, strenuous exercise. Drink enough to stay hydrated but if you gain weight after exercise you are probably drinking too much.

10. Watch your pee. Monitor the volume and color of your urine to determine your hydration level.

You like to go beyond what's expected of you, and when you have a dream, you head out into the world to turn that lofty aspiration into an achievement...

Hi -

I just signed a petition on Change.org asking Congress to create "Caylee's Law" to require parents to notify law enforcement when their children go missing.
Can you also sign the petition and help me reach 600,000 signatures? Click below to add your name:

Drive Safe In This Rainy Weather!

Hydroplaning happens when the water in front of your tires builds up faster than your car's weight can push it out of the way. The water pressure causes your car to rise up and slide on a thin layer of water between your tires.

Taking these simple tips into account can save your life.

You can prevent skids by driving slowly and carefully, especially on curves. Steer and brake with a light touch. When you need to stop or slow, do not brake hard or lock the wheels and risk a skid. Maintain mild pressure on the brake pedal.

If you do find yourself in a skid, remain calm, ease your foot off the gas, and carefully steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go. You must be prepared to turn the steering wheel again and again until the front of the vehicle is traveling in a straight line. For cars without anti-lock brakes, avoid using your brakes. If your car has ABS, brake firmly as you steer into the skid.

Avoid hydroplaning by keeping your tires inflated correctly. Maintain good tire tread. Don't put off replacing worn tires. Slow down when roads are wet, and stay away from puddles. Try to drive in the tire tracks left by the cars in front of you.

If you find yourself hydroplaning, do not brake or turn suddenly. This could throw your car into a skid. Ease your foot off the gas until the car slows and you can feel the road again. If you need to brake, do it gently with light pumping actions. If your car has anti-lock brakes, then brake normally. The car's computer will automatically pump the brakes much more effectively than a person can do.

A defensive driver adjusts his or her speed to the wet road conditions in time to avoid having to use any of these measures.

Be safe out there!
