You can feel your body gets more dehydrated as the temperature goes up... so importantly keep yourself #Hydrated by drinking PLENTY of #Water and facilitating easy flushing of toxins from your body too. Occasionally, you can slip little Lemon/Citrus juice for refreshing your water sips. Surely Keep away from alcohol.
