Protecting Your Brain and Body During Hot NC Summers: Hydration and Nutrition Tips
Summer heat in Western North Carolina can impair cognitive function, circulation, and mood if hydration and nutrition aren’t optimized. Electrolyte balance—through mineral-rich broths, coconut water, and sodium, potassium, and magnesium—is essential for maintaining fluid absorption and energy. Water-rich fruits and vegetables, along with smaller, balanced meals, support mental clarity and prevent fatigue. Personalized hydration plans, especially for older adults and active individuals, ensure resilience in hot, humid conditions.
