proper hydration is always an important; but sweating in the hot summer may require the replenishment of glucose and electrolytes, so you may have to amp it up a bit. this is basically the formula for your own DIY version of gatorade/powerade. this allows you to control the amount of sugar intake, experiment with the flavors, avoid preservatives like brominated vegetable oil , and is usually a lot cheaper than the store version.
-1 gallon of water -1 flavor packet of choice (or use 1/4c lemon/lime juice or a shot glass or two of apple cider vinegar) -sweetener of your choice; for example it could be ½ cup white sugar or 8 packets of stevia (more or less according to your taste buds) -¼ tsp salt -1/8 tsp salt substitute
mix and chill. drink heartily.
Since making this post I’ve learned new stuff. Sodium, Chloride, & Potassium are the three main electrolytes and are found in the products above. Adding Calcium, Magnesium (by crushing a supplement) and Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking soda) in very small amounts also benefits the body and helps with hydration. i’ve made a small container with all these minerals and just add a pinch to water, lemonade or most any drink.
In 1927, the most destructive river flood in U.S. history inundated seven states, displaced more than half a million people for months, and caused about $1 billion dollars in property damages. And like many national emergencies it exposed a stark question that the country still struggles to answer - what is the political calculus used to decide who bears the ultimate responsibility in a crisis, especially when it comes to the most vulnerable? This week, the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and what came after.
Rumors regarding discrimination and the inadequate living conditions caused the NAACP to conduct an investigation on the levee camps. Funded by Katharine Drexel, in December of 1932 Roy Wilkins and George Schuyler spent three weeks in the Mississippi levee camps disguised as unskilled workers. Wilkins published an article “Mississippi River Slavery – 1933” in the NAACP Crisis Magazine which described their experiences and concerns for the levee workers.[6] These observations caused the NAACP to stress greater awareness of the exploitation of black laborers in the south, and resulted in a number of US Senate hearings.
I’ve noticed in the notes of this post that people think that these are regular temperatures and saying that plenty of places get into the 90s. these are WET BULB temperatures and they are deadly.
Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.[3][4]
When schools offer free meals for everyone, local families reduce grocery spending. Large chains respond by dropping prices, amplifying benefits to the broader community.
oh no, not true…. any LGBT supporting Trump, DeSantis, or any Republican looked like an absolute idiot long before this, my boy. glad you finally noticed though.
