Heatwave: Hydrate well with Ginger (without dehydrating sodas)

35°C outside, and the iced soda reflex which makes everything worse: the sugar draws water towards the intestine and the caffeine makes you urinate. During a heatwave, what you drink matters as much as how much you drink — here is the intelligent hydration plan.

🌡️ The heatwave hydration plan

• The non-negotiable basis : 1.5 to 2.5 L of water/day in high heat, in small regular sips - not 1 liter at once (the kidneys eliminate the excess)
• The soda trap : a drink with 10% sugar slows down gastric emptying and draws water in by osmosis — you drink, but you hydrate poorly. An ice-cold diet soda also encourages you to drink less water
• The role of ginger : 2-4 cl of concentrate in 50 cl of fresh water = flavored water without sugar that makes you WANT to drink — the real problem with heat waves is that we forget to drink
• Spicy paradox : hot countries eat spicy food — the light spiciness triggers micro-sweating which cools (this is the body's air conditioning system)
• Electrolytes : if you sweat a lot (sports, working outside), add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon to your water — sodium + potassium, the duo lost in sweat

⚠️ Elderly people, infants, chronic illnesses: heatwave is dangerous — the feeling of thirst decreases with age, you must drink BEFORE you are thirsty. Warning signs: cramps, dizziness, confusion, lack of sweat = emergency. The shot never replaces water: it just makes it easier to drink. organic NRTI, no added sugar — exactly what you need at 35°C.
