It is necessary for you to stay adequately hydrated through the summer months. Water helps regulate body temperature. It maintains a stable internal temperature through sweating and respiration, preventing overheating, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. Additionally, water maintains electrolyte balance in your body, which is lost through sweat. Drinking an adequate amount of water results in improved cardiovascular health, physical performance and digestion. Here are some summer coolers you can try.
