What should I do if I am already dehydrated?
If you begin to feel dehydrated, the best thing to do is drink water with electrolytes to quickly rehydrate your body. Simply add a pinch of salt to a glass of water, or try hydrating supplements such as Emer'gen-C or Ola Loa, both of which have added vitamins. Then rest in a cool place until you feel your body return to normal. If you continue to feel faint or dizzy, contact a doctor immediately.

What other steps can I take to stay healthy this fall?
Fall is also the season for colds and the flu. By staying properly hydrated, you will strengthen your body's immune system, and ward off germs and illness. It is also important to keep your neck warm. Since the neck has no body fat, it is particularly susceptible to cold, which can weaken the immune system. Most importantly, get plenty of sleep so that your mind and body can properly refresh and re-energize! With the holidays right around the corner, it's especially important to stay healthy now. Remember, it's easier to prevent illness than to treat illness. So plan a season ahead, and take care of yourself today!
