"The games get intense under the hot summer sun. On June 23rd, National Hydration Day reminds us to replace fluids lost in the heat of battle. The human body contains more than 60 percent water. Maintaining that balance while training is a challenge. And doing it during the summer months is a practice that must be consistent. Becoming overheated or dehydrated can lead to heat stroke and possibly death. You can help prevent dehydration by being hydrated before a workout even begins. This essential step goes a long way to a more effective workout. If you are under-hydrated before you start, maintaining or catching up on hydration becomes difficult once the sweating starts. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the training, too. Fluids can include sports drinks that contain electrolytes (Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, and Potassium) to replenish the essential minerals the body loses through perspiration. For some sports, products like FuelGard™ Mouthgard and Electrolyte Tablets, offer dual benefits. It protects the athlete and provides essential electrolytes for maintaining hydration balance while the athlete trains. After the workout, you will need to continue replenishing fluids."
My notes: Have to stress those electrolytes. We use a supplement for minerals as well as electrolytes that we put in our water.

Absolutely have to keep up with your fluid intake, especially water. Summertime is hot and sometimes humid, so, it's a good time to stay hydrated. But, you know, dehydration can happen any time of the year so drink up. You can buy bottles of Electrolyte water or juices, which are quite handy. We also like to keep on hand the Electrolyte & Mineral drops, which you can add to water or any juices you want. Plus, the drops don't have any taste to them.

"If you enjoy cookies, then National Pecan Sandies Day on June 23rd is a day worth celebrating. The American food holiday is observed annually and offers bakers and cookie lovers a chance to enjoy a classic cookie. As long as baking has been documented, cookie-like wafers have existed. Part of the reason may be because these sturdy cookies travel very well. Cookies have changed and evolved over the years with the modern standards of sweetness and variety, though. The mild sweetness of these cookies pairs well with tea and coffee. And the texture of these melt-in-your-mouth cookies will remind you of the shortbread cookies your grandma used to make."
My notes: I like Pecan Sandies. What about you?

"Every year on June 23rd, International Widows’ Day gives special recognition to the situation of widows of all ages across the globe. The situation for widows is especially dire in developing countries. Some of the problems widows face in these countries include poverty, violence, social stigmatization, and health issues. According to recent statistics, there are about 258 million widows in the world. Nearly one in 10 widows live in extreme poverty. This is because many widows don’t have access to credit or other economic resources, including work."
My notes: I feel for all who have lost their spouse!!
