Summer Survival: How to Give Your Best, Stay Fueled, Cool, and Energized

When it’s 90º out, your body needs more than the typical beverage.
Hot, humid days can drain your energy faster than you think—and if you’re working out, playing sports, running errands, or just living life in the heat, your body has extra needs to stay strong and balanced.

Hydration + energy during high heat

Sweating isn’t just losing water—it’s losing electrolytes your muscles and brain need to function. When hydration drops, you feel sluggish, dizzy, and less motivated. This often overlooked relationship (hydration and cognitive function) has real impacts on the ways you perform both physically and mentally.
Sip on drinks that replace what you lose: water alone isn’t enough when temps climb. Add aloe for digestion support or a low‑sugar electrolyte blend to keep energy steady.

Fuel before and after outdoor workouts
In summer, your body burns through fuel faster while regulating temperature.
  • Before you head out: have a light, nutrient‑dense snack or shake with carbs + protein to power your workout.
  • After you finish: replenish with a recovery shake that offers protein and key minerals to help your body bounce back.
  • Recovery drinks that actually replenish you
Not all drinks are created equal. Sugary sports drinks can spike and crash your energy, leaving you thirstier.

Instead, choose: 

  • Fortified teas with natural caffeine for a clean lift
  • Protein‑rich recovery shakes with electrolytes
  • Herbal Aloe to soothe and support digestion after heat exposure
