[QUOTE="GC7, post: 3916385, member: 2455"] You guys who are [B]only drinking more water[/B] are missing part of the picture. Hydration has a chemical component which is why Gatorade and Pedialyte both have sugar AND salt. If you are going to be in a situation where you are perspiring more, and hydration is important, go for a sports drink (even the sugar free ones are fine). You can even blend your own "sports drink powder" at home and make custom flavors. I learned this the hard way when I did some outdoor labor in July one year and only drank gallons of ice water. By the end of the day it felt like my brain was swollen because I had lost too much salt. (I had skipped breakfast and lunch because it was a really busy day) [/QUOTE]
