A member asked:

What is a good drink to drink when working in the heat?

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Water: Water is best. If you've become dehydrated, sports drinks (like gatorade) can be helpful. However, they're full of sugar, so it's better just to keep yourself hydrated by steady water consumption.
