who is she
the moment I saw this woman I was completely overcome with the feeling that she was, at that very moment, somehow divorcing me
PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!
regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!
regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.
gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!
no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!
Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!
honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3
I have had to give this lecture to coworkers a million times because they go “haha, yeah....” and then completely ignore it and keep parroting the Only Water Is Truly Hydrating bullshit in the next sentence.
So to reiterate:
All the time but ESPECIALLY in a heat wave: The best source of hydration is whatever you will reliably drink a lot of.
A heat wave is not the time to go on a health kick. A heat wave is the time to put fluids in your fucking body in a way that is sustainable and in which you KNOW you will continue to do. No “but”s, no concessions, no “it’s fine to sometimes drink something other than water”.
Anything but alcohol. Do you enjoy the taste? Is it a liquid? Will you reliably drink plenty of it throughout the day? That is what you stock up on for a heat wave. I don’t care if it’s soda--yes, caffeine is a diuretic, but there is not enough caffeine in that soda to counteract the benefits of putting liquid in your fucking body. You go with the juice or sports mix or lemonade or what the fuck ever that you know you like and will thus continue to drink a lot of even when the heat suppresses your appetite, which it will. Do not fuck around with this.
Also:
Your body cannot absorb infinite water without electrolytes. After a certain point, continuing to drink Just Water without also eating something salty or adding sports drinks or juice, literally anything that has Something in it, isn’t even doing any good. Your body can’t do anything with it.
I love the memes about Sunfyre learning the common tongue to understand Aegon but what if Sunfyre's grasp on Valyrian is actually just as bad as Aegon's and that if he had another rider who was fluent in Valyrian, he would just be confused af?
"Draca...what? Oh you mean fire? Why didn't you just say that?"
