Know (T)hy Dration!: The brain is really good at keeping our body temperature within a very narrow range. When the air temp is high, the brain cools the body using sweat. Of course, for this cooling system to work optimally, it's especially important to drink plenty of water. It sounds like knowing about dehydration -its signs & symptoms- as well as how specifically to prevent it might help: http://bit.Ly/12mh9lu.
