Staying hydrated


Dear Pedro, I really liked the article “Here Comes the Sun” in the June issue, but I thought it was missing something. I live in Florida and know how important it is to protect yourself from the sun, but that also includes staying hydrated. The sun makes your body lose a lot of water, which can lead to dehydration and serious consequences.

If you get thirsty, you’re not drinking enough water, Stefan. And when it gets hot (like it is in my corral these days), nothing beats water, not even alfalfa milkshakes.
