To prevent heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat stroke you have to make sure your water is replenished and your salts and minerals are replaced. Wear light, loose fitting clothing, such as cotton, so sweat can evaporate. Drink lots of liquids, especially if your urine is a dark yellow, to replace the fluids you lose from sweating. Water and electrolyte drinks, such as Gatorade, PowerAde, All Sport or even Pedialyte are recommended. Thirst is however not a reliable sign that your body needs to be replenished so keep drinking during those hot humid Florida days.
Some people perspire more than others.
Those who perspire heavily should drink as much fluid as they can during hot, humid days. When you exercise, it is better to sip rather than gulp the liquids. Do not drink alcohol or beverages with caffeine. These items increase fluid loss. And as a boxer, if you are trying to lose weight stay out of the sun if you are taking water pills.
