Please humor me .. I'll move it to GS when I get the answer I need... thank you for your help!!!

My husband will be out in the blazing heat tomorrow playing in a Big Band. The temp will be at least 100 degrees with heat index around 105-110 .. so I'm a bit worried!! He will be in the sun for about 2 hours or more.

I know he should hydrate before, during and after... but what about ingesting extra salt?

Before, during and after?? or only after??

thanks!!!

I know gatorade has sugar but it has a good amount of salt in it that helps hydration. While coconut water contains electrolytes it doesn't contain salt. I would say lots of water and a gatorade or two [Smile]

Oh, and before, during and after would be best!

Duh... since I don't drink Gatorade I hadn't even thought of it... [bonk]

I was packing some chips and salted peanuts for him. I'll tell him to pick up some Gatorade.

I knew you guys would know what to do!!
