Most people need at least two to three quarts of liquid per day, and more in hot weather or with sweating and exercise. If you drink more than this, add some electrolyte solution, such as Emergen-C packets, to your water. Almost all commercially prepared drinks are high in sugar and are not a substitute for the healing benefits of water. Sun and salt are dehydrating, so balance your need between salt and water. Avoid drinking water that has been in sun-heated plastic containers so as to not consume plastic chemicals.

For dry skin, carry and use nourishing, natural body lotion (great after your bath). While enjoying the sun and outdoors, protect yourself from overexposure to sunlight by wearing a hat and using natural sunscreens without excessive chemicals. Carry Aloe Vera gel for overexposure. The cooling and healing gel will soothe any sunburn. For clothing, cotton is best since it breathes and energy moves through it. The synthetics are easy to wash but the chemicals and lack of ventilation are possible problems. Have layers of clothes to wear to protect you from ticks, poison plants, scratches, and from overexposure. Also, take good sunglasses since excessive sunlight can cause headaches and dehydration.

Monitor your progress to see what's most effective and most pleasurable. Then, when you get back home, you can incorporate these new activity habits. When traveling for business, be sure to exercise to clear your mind and body. Aerobic activity is important for keeping the heart strong and healthy.

Get plenty of refreshing activities – hiking, biking, and swimming--in these hotter months. Even short bursts of healing aerobic activity can de-stress and dump toxins through your sweat equity. Breathing is a most necessary component to health. Pay attention regularly to your breath and your state of stress.
