Stay Hydrated While Visiting a Theme Park

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and we're talking about different ways that we can keep our families protected at theme parks. One of the things that you're going to want to be careful of is dehydration. A lot of the times, we tend to visit theme parks during the summer months and they can obviously be very very warm and aside from sunscreen and keeping yourself well protected from the sun, you're also going to want to stay hydrated and the best way to stay well hydrated is with water. You really are going to want to avoid sodas and juices that have a lot of sugar in them. If you are feeling like you're low on electrolytes, you can go ahead and drink some sort of Gatorade or electrolyte drink but really the best way is to just keep a constant steady flow of water in your system and that will help you avoid any sort of affect of dehydration. Dehydration can ruin an outing very quickly. It can cause headaches and exhaustion and can really make you feel very ill and not at all like wanting to run around and have fun so be sure that you stay hydrated."
