Staying Hydrated This Summer

As summer temperatures continue to rise this year, hydration is key to keeping your body healthy!  Living in south Louisiana we experience a long summer full of high temperatures and high humidity.  I did not always live in the south, so when I moved here I had to learn to deal with the heat.  One thing that I always do is grab a bottle of smartwater or vitaminwater that I picked up from CVS Pharmacy to take with me when I leave the house – no matter where I am going!

We have several camping trips planned this summer and having cold, bottled smartwater on hand is a must!  A couple weeks ago, we went camping  (in a camper) and the feel like temperature was 102.  We were out in the heat mid-day setting up the camper and since the refrigerator takes a couple hours to cool down bringing cold bottled smartwater in a cooler will help you from over heating and keep you hydrated.  That same trip we took several walks and each one we had a couple bottles of vitaminwater with us.

Wherever we are camping I know that a CVS Pharmacy is not far away.  CVS Pharmacy is the perfect place to stock up on drinks (including my favorite smartwater and vitaminwater) before and during our trips to keep us hydrated.  Plus I can grab an extra bottle of sunscreen or bug spray when we unexpectantly run out!

Did you know that if you feel thirsty that you are already dehydrated?  Here are some tips for staying hydrated this summer!

Tips for Staying Hydrated

• Plan ahead and always bring bottles of cold smartwater with you.
• If you do not care for the taste of regular water, try vitaminwater which offers a slight flavor (my favorite is XXX).
• Eat foods that contain water such as fruits.
• Become a shade seeker – try to stay out of the direct sunlight.

Do you shop at CVS Pharmacy?  Do you have a CVS ExtraCare card?  If not, it is free and easy to sign up for one.  We usually shop at CVS Pharmacy  weekly to pick up different deals.

Right now you can purchase four smartwater (700m), vitaminwater (20oz), Gold Peak (18.5oz) or Honest Tea (16.9oz) (or any combination) with your CVS ExtraCare card for $5 and receive $2 in ExtraBucks, good towards your next purchase.  Deal valid from 6/28-7/25.
