how to prevent getting sick and feel tired in hot weather?

[petitedollbabee]

Keep out of direct sunlight for long periods. Drink a lot of water and don’t wear too many layers. Sit down when you need to, and if you start to feel light headed or dazed, go rest in some shade to avoid heat stroke.

[Nikki1989]

Lots of water and eat healthy.

Drink cold mineral water like Topo Chico.

Learn the perhaps-it's-not-a-myth of Topo Chico and the Aztec Princess...

The Legend of Topo Chico

Back in the 1400s, the legend says, there was a beautiful Aztec princess. She was the daughter of famed Emperor Moctezuma I, the ruthless-yet-visionary ruler who consolidated the Aztec Empire. The princess became gravely ill, and none of the doctors and healers in the empire could revive her. The desperate emperor turned to his priests, who told him they had heard stories of warm waters far to the north that could restore her.

An expedition began in search of these healing waters. It was only when the princess was carried hundreds of miles to drink and bathe in the bubbling spring hidden high in the mountains that she was refreshed. After that, the fame of this miraculous water grew.

For hundreds of years, people have been attracted to these hot springs in the mountains outside Monterrey, Mexico. One of those mountains is Cerro del Topo Chico, an inactive volcano. The name “Topo Chico” means Little Mole Hill, which is what the round, domed volcano resembles from the ground. The volcano sits atop the source of the springs, surrounded by limestone that gives the water its distinctive minerality.

Geez, I think I'm going to have a TC right now!

You don't have to drink TC, but mineral water is excellent for you all year round - especially in the summer. It's like nature's Gatorade without the sugar of Gatorade. Since mineral water, by law, must be bottled "at the source", every brand of mineral water is different and they have different mineral contents (check for "TDS" which is "Total Dissolved Solids").

TC has good mineral content. Perrier, San Pelligrino... not so much. Gerolsteiner is excellent for minerals.

Right now, I am drinking a lot of ALDI's "Italian Sparkling Water" (mineral water) which is really another famous brand based in Italy, Galvanina. It's good like TC and nice TDS, but, to me, tastes more like Gerolsteiner and is considerably cheaper. (Mineral water can be expensive because it has to be transported from the source.) Today, I bought 3 6-packs of 500-ml bottles for $4.95 each. That's a good deal.


The cheapest I find Topo Chico is at Walmart for $12.97 for a 12-pack of 12-oz bottles.


The Gerolsteiner website is good to learn about mineral water, but is "Fine Waters".

and lots of medical advice sites such as WebMD...

Oh, one last thing I learned a few weeks ago.
The health benefits of mineral water are best when you drink it while eating food. This causes the water to "not go through you" so quickly and you body will have more time to absorb the minerals in the water.

Mineral water is excellent for "bioavailability" of minerals. When you eat food or take vitamins, your body needs to break them down to make the minerals available to the body. With mineral water, the minerals are dissolved in the water, so your body immediately has the minerals available to it. (That's bioavailability.)

Seriously, drinking mineral water can have an immediate positive effect on how you are feeling. Whenever I feel like shit or my wife feels like shit, we drink a TC or other mineral water, and we are much better within minutes. She drinks TC to avoid muscle cramps.

Gerolsteiner, "the Cadillac of Mineral Waters".


It may be hard to find, but a high-end supermarket like Whole Foods or Fresh Thyme or an international food market will usually carry it.

Keep yourself hydrated. Drink lots of fluids.

[DrPepper12]

Cheap hydrated and keep the day drinking to a minimum.
