That has been the word around here the past four days. We hit a record on Friday August 14 of 117 degrees. We need to be smart and responsible about when and how we go in the heat. I typically do not teach any students during the summer between the hours of ten in the morning to four in the afternoon. One of the reasons is the heat and intensity of the sun causes concentration lapses. I teach most of my summer lessons before ten and after five in the evening. One of the things I recommend for the students to always bring with them is water and a sports drink or pedialyte. Water alone will not prevent you from dehydration because water does not have any electrolytes and other minerals that keep our muscles from cramping or our body from shutting down. The pedialyte or sports drink will keep you thirsty so that you drink water. Following the activity, I recommend chocolate milk because of it's protein to carbohydrate ratio for recovery.
