Dear patients,
It seems there is so much going on in our community! We have the ongoing issues surrounding COVID-19 and all that that involves. Now, we seem to be having an early arrival of the hot summer temperatures!
I am sending this quick reminder about the importance of hydration:
--we need proper hydration for all body functions, including our immune systems to work at their functional optimum!
--drink at least ½ of your body weight in ounces of good, electrolyte containing water daily
--more water is needed if you work or play outside
--remember that if you feel thirsty, you are already somewhat dehydrated
Signs of heat-related illness (dehydration) may include any or a combination of the following: thirst, dry mouth, headache, dizziness, nausea, stopping sweating (dry skin), decreased output of urine or dark-colored urine, blurry vision, fatigue, fainting
I just want to remind everyone, we do IV hydration at Journey Natural Medicine----you can walk-in OR call to schedule an appointment!
Be safe!
Dr. Judith Ziol
