Fitness Experts Ruben & Alex have come up with some great tips to help beat the heat this summer by staying hydrated.

These simple tips can help make getting enough fluids part of your daily routine:

- Have something to drink when you first get up in the morning.

- Make sure to consume at least 8 full glasses of water per day.  More if you'll be in the sun a lot.

- Carry a plastic water bottle with you during work hours and when you are away from home for long periods of time.

- Make sure to wear sunscreen as sunburn will increase your chances of dehydration too.

- Remember to drink before you get thirsty.

- Try to limit caffeinated and sugary beverages.  Caffeine acts as a diuretic and can cause you to lose fluids quickly.  In addition to having extra calories, the fructose, or natural sugars, in fruit juice can slow your body’s ability to absorb fluids.
