While reaching for a cold drink may seem like&nbsp;a simple way&nbsp;to cool down, not all beverages affect the body the same way.

Water helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients, support digestion,&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;circulation, and keep your brain and muscles functioning properly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;By the time you feel thirsty,&nbsp;you may already be dehydrated,&#8221; says&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicians.cooperhealth.org\/provider\/daniel-elchediak\/7176734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daniel Elchediak, MD<\/a>,&nbsp;a primary care physician with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/center\/cooper-direct-primary-care?_gl=1*4e0v27*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3ODE1MzU0ODIuQ2p3S0NBand4YjdSQmhBNUVpd0FRLUFBZEVaY3hZTHUzR28xSDA3YVZVaGdma2F2eGR5S2Y4dF9hUWViQTlXQWljMjA5aE5NZkVERGFSb0NrLXNRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_ga*MTgxMTI1NTgwLjE3ODM5NjcyMTk.*_ga_Q7FC98J25G*czE3ODM5NjY4OTYkbzMkZzEkdDE3ODM5Njg5OTEkajUzJGwwJGgw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cooper&nbsp;Direct Primary Care<\/a>.&nbsp;&#8220;Rather than waiting until&nbsp;you&#8217;re thirsty, make a habit of drinking fluids consistently throughout the day&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;especially if you&#8217;re spending time outdoors or being physically active.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hot weather and sweating cause your body to lose both water and electrolytes. Without adequate replacement, dehydration can increase your risk of heat-related illness.&nbsp;So, what should you reach for when&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;thirsty?&nbsp;Here&#8217;s&nbsp;how some of the most common summer beverages compare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Everyday Hydration, Stick&nbsp;With&nbsp;Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHydration has become a big business, and it&#8217;s easy&nbsp;to think&nbsp;that&nbsp;you need expensive drinks or hydration powders every day,&#8221;&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Elchediak&nbsp;says.&nbsp;&#8220;For most people, plain water is still the best choice. Specialty hydration products are generally most helpful during prolonged exercise, illness, or extreme heat&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;not for everyday hydration.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While hydration needs vary from person to person based on age, activity level, and weather conditions, experts recommend drinking water consistently throughout the day rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If&nbsp;you get bored with&nbsp;plain water, try adding natural flavor with&nbsp;fresh fruit or herbs.&nbsp;Some refreshing combinations include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lemon and&nbsp;mint&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melon&nbsp;and&nbsp;basil&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cucumber and&nbsp;berries&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Do You Need Electrolytes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electrolytes are minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium that help balance fluids and support muscle and nerve function.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During prolonged exercise, strenuous outdoor work, or extended time in the heat, your body loses electrolytes through sweat. In these situations, sports drinks or electrolyte beverages may help replace&nbsp;those losses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Most people don&#8217;t need electrolyte drinks after a short walk or an afternoon by the pool,&#8221;&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Elchediak&nbsp;notes.&nbsp;&#8220;They&#8217;re most beneficial during prolonged physical activity, illness with vomiting or diarrhea, or extended exposure to high temperatures when you&#8217;re losing both fluids and electrolytes.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that many sports drinks&nbsp;contain&nbsp;added sugars, sodium, and calories that&nbsp;you&nbsp;may not&nbsp;want&nbsp;and&nbsp;are&nbsp;likely&nbsp;not&nbsp;necessary&nbsp;for&nbsp;hydration after&nbsp;routine activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sugary Drinks: Enjoy in Moderation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soda, sweet tea, juices, and other sugary beverages may be refreshing, but they&nbsp;aren&#8217;t&nbsp;the best choice for hydration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sugary beverages can contribute&nbsp;excess&nbsp;calories without providing the hydration benefits of water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some sports drinks&nbsp;contain&nbsp;a combination of sugar and electrolytes that can help with rehydration after strenuous activity, sugary beverages should&nbsp;generally be&nbsp;avoided or&nbsp;enjoyed in moderation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alcohol and Summer Heat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol can significantly increase the risk of dehydration, especially during hot weather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because alcohol&nbsp;interferes with how our body regulates water, it causes the body to lose more fluid through increased urination. It can also interfere with the body&#8217;s ability to regulate temperature and replace lost fluids effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When combined with summer heat, outdoor activities, and sweating, alcohol can accelerate dehydration and increase the risk of heat-related illness.&nbsp;If you choose to drink alcohol, alternate alcoholic beverages with water and&nbsp;limit prolonged time in direct sunlight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydration Beyond Your Water Bottle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hydration&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;come only from beverages.&nbsp;Many fruits and vegetables&nbsp;are&nbsp;naturally&nbsp;high&nbsp;in&nbsp;water&nbsp;content&nbsp;and can help support healthy hydration while&nbsp;having the added benefit&nbsp;of&nbsp;providing important vitamins and minerals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some excellent choices include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Watermelon&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cucumbers&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oranges&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strawberries&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peaches&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Celery&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomatoes&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These foods provide water, natural sugars, fiber, and nutrients that support overall health.&nbsp;To maximize nutritional benefits, choose whole fruit rather than&nbsp;fruit&nbsp;juice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of Dehydration to Watch For<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even mild dehydration can affect how you feel and perform throughout the day. Recognizing the warning signs early can help prevent more serious complications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common signs of dehydration include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased thirst&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headache&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dizziness&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatigue&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dark-colored urine&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscle cramps&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon&#8217;t ignore early signs of dehydration such as&nbsp;headache, dizziness, fatigue, or dark urine,\u201d&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Elchediak&nbsp;warns.&nbsp;\u201cRecognizing these symptoms early and increasing your fluid intake can help prevent more serious complications.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dehydration in Older Adults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dehydration in the elderly is a critical health risk \u2013 and while it can be&nbsp;more&nbsp;prevalent&nbsp;in the hot weather,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;a year-round concern.&nbsp;Reduced&nbsp;thirst sensation,&nbsp;decreased kidney function,&nbsp;medication&nbsp;side&nbsp;effects, and less overall body fluids&nbsp;make&nbsp;seniors&nbsp;highly vulnerable to dehydration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check in on older family members and neighbors&nbsp;\u2013 especially those&nbsp;living&nbsp;alone&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;when&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;hot.&nbsp;Bring them some fresh fruit or low-sugar or sugar-free drinks and encourage them to stay hydrated.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Seek Medical Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While mild dehydration can usually be treated by increasing your fluid intake, severe dehydration requires prompt medical attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seek medical attention if you experience:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Severe dizziness&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fainting&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confusion&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rapid heartbeat&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inability to keep fluids down&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf symptoms don&#8217;t improve after drinking fluids, or if someone becomes confused, faints, or has difficulty staying alert, it&#8217;s important to seek medical care right away,\u201d&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Elchediak&nbsp;says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without prompt treatment, severe dehydration can lead to heat stroke, kidney problems, seizures, and other medical emergencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr. Daniel Elchediak is currently accepting new patients through Cooper Direct Primary Care.

Si bien tomar una bebida fr\u00eda puede parecer una forma sencilla de refrescarse, no todas las bebidas afectan al cuerpo de la misma manera. Entender qu\u00e9 bebidas favorecen la hidrataci\u00f3n y cu\u00e1les se deben limitar puede ayudarte a mantenerte sano, con energ\u00eda y seguro durante los meses de verano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Por qu\u00e9 la hidrataci\u00f3n es importante<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una hidrataci\u00f3n adecuada es esencial para que tu cuerpo funcione de forma \u00f3ptima. El agua ayuda a regular la temperatura corporal, transportar nutrientes, favorecer la digesti\u00f3n, mantener la circulaci\u00f3n y asegurar el buen funcionamiento del cerebro y los m\u00fasculos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Cuando sientes sed, es posible que ya est\u00e9s deshidratado,&#8221; afirma el <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicians.cooperhealth.org\/provider\/daniel-elchediak\/7176734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daniel Elchediak, MD<\/a>, m\u00e9dico de atenci\u00f3n primaria en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/center\/cooper-direct-primary-care?_gl=1*4e0v27*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3ODE1MzU0ODIuQ2p3S0NBand4YjdSQmhBNUVpd0FRLUFBZEVaY3hZTHUzR28xSDA3YVZVaGdma2F2eGR5S2Y4dF9hUWViQTlXQWljMjA5aE5NZkVERGFSb0NrLXNRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_ga*MTgxMTI1NTgwLjE3ODM5NjcyMTk.*_ga_Q7FC98J25G*czE3ODM5NjY4OTYkbzMkZzEkdDE3ODM5Njg5OTEkajUzJGwwJGgw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cooper&nbsp;Direct Primary Care<\/a>. &#8220;En lugar de esperar a tener sed, acost\u00fambrate a beber l\u00edquidos constantemente a lo largo del d\u00eda, especialmente si pasas tiempo al aire libre o realizas actividad f\u00edsica.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El calor y la sudoraci\u00f3n provocan la p\u00e9rdida de agua y electrolitos. Sin una reposici\u00f3n adecuada, la deshidrataci\u00f3n puede aumentar el riesgo de sufrir enfermedades relacionadas con el calor. Entonces, \u00bfqu\u00e9 debes beber cuando tienes sed? Aqu\u00ed te mostramos una comparaci\u00f3n de algunas de las bebidas m\u00e1s comunes del verano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Para una hidrataci\u00f3n diaria, opta por el agua<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLa hidrataci\u00f3n se ha convertido en un gran negocio, y es f\u00e1cil pensar que se necesitan bebidas caras o polvos de hidrataci\u00f3n a diario\u201d, afirma el Dr. Elchediak. \u201cPara la mayor\u00eda de las personas, el agua sigue siendo la mejor opci\u00f3n. Los productos de hidrataci\u00f3n especializados suelen ser m\u00e1s \u00fatiles durante el ejercicio prolongado, en caso de enfermedad o calor extremo, no para la hidrataci\u00f3n diaria\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si bien las necesidades de hidrataci\u00f3n var\u00edan de persona a persona seg\u00fan la edad, el nivel de actividad y las condiciones clim\u00e1ticas, los expertos recomiendan beber agua constantemente a lo largo del d\u00eda en lugar de esperar a tener sed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si te aburres del agua sola, prueba a a\u00f1adirle sabor natural con fruta fresca o hierbas. Algunas combinaciones refrescantes incluyen:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lim\u00f3n y menta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mel\u00f3n y albahaca<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pepino y frutos rojos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo necesitas electrolitos?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los electrolitos son minerales como el sodio, el potasio, el calcio y el magnesio que ayudan a equilibrar los l\u00edquidos y a mantener la funci\u00f3n muscular y nerviosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Durante el ejercicio prolongado, el trabajo f\u00edsico intenso al aire libre o la exposici\u00f3n prolongada al calor, el cuerpo pierde electrolitos a trav\u00e9s del sudor. En estas situaciones, las bebidas deportivas o las bebidas con electrolitos pueden ayudar a reponer esas p\u00e9rdidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;La mayor\u00eda de las personas no necesitan bebidas con electrolitos despu\u00e9s de una caminata corta o una tarde en la piscina&#8221;, se\u00f1ala el Dr. Elchediak. &#8220;Son m\u00e1s beneficiosas durante la actividad f\u00edsica prolongada, enfermedades con v\u00f3mitos o diarrea, o la exposici\u00f3n prolongada a altas temperaturas, cuando se pierden tanto l\u00edquidos como electrolitos&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tenga en cuenta que muchas bebidas deportivas contienen az\u00facares a\u00f1adidos, sodio y calor\u00edas que quiz\u00e1s no desee y que probablemente no sean necesarias para la hidrataci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de actividades rutinarias.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bebidas azucaradas: Disfr\u00fatalas con moderaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los refrescos, el t\u00e9 dulce, los zumos y otras bebidas azucaradas pueden ser refrescantes, pero no son la mejor opci\u00f3n para hidratarse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las bebidas azucaradas pueden aportar un exceso de calor\u00edas sin proporcionar los beneficios de hidrataci\u00f3n del agua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si bien algunas bebidas deportivas contienen una combinaci\u00f3n de az\u00facar y electrolitos que pueden ayudar a la rehidrataci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de una actividad f\u00edsica intensa, en general se deben evitar las bebidas azucaradas o consumirlas con moderaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alcohol y calor veraniego<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El alcohol puede aumentar significativamente el riesgo de deshidrataci\u00f3n, especialmente durante el calor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debido a que el alcohol interfiere con la forma en que nuestro cuerpo regula el agua, provoca una mayor p\u00e9rdida de l\u00edquidos a trav\u00e9s de una mayor micci\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n puede interferir con la capacidad del cuerpo para regular la temperatura y reponer los l\u00edquidos perdidos de manera efectiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combinado con el calor del verano, las actividades al aire libre y la sudoraci\u00f3n, el alcohol puede acelerar la deshidrataci\u00f3n y aumentar el riesgo de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor. Si decide consumir alcohol, alterne las bebidas alcoh\u00f3licas con agua y limite la exposici\u00f3n prolongada al sol directo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hidrataci\u00f3n m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de tu botella de agua<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La hidrataci\u00f3n no proviene \u00fanicamente de las bebidas. Muchas frutas y verduras tienen un alto contenido natural de agua y pueden contribuir a una hidrataci\u00f3n saludable, adem\u00e1s de aportar importantes vitaminas y minerales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Algunas excelentes opciones incluyen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sand\u00eda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pepinos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Naranjas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fresas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melocotones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomates&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estos alimentos aportan agua, az\u00facares naturales, fibra y nutrientes que favorecen la salud en general. Para maximizar los beneficios nutricionales, elige fruta entera en lugar de zumo de fruta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signos de deshidrataci\u00f3n a los que debes prestar atenci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incluso una deshidrataci\u00f3n leve puede afectar tu bienestar y rendimiento a lo largo del d\u00eda.

La disminuci\u00f3n de la sensaci\u00f3n de sed, la reducci\u00f3n de la funci\u00f3n renal, los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos y la menor cantidad de l\u00edquidos corporales hacen que las personas mayores sean muy vulnerables a la deshidrataci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visita a tus familiares y vecinos mayores, especialmente a quienes viven solos, cuando hace calor.
