This hydration topic should definitely not overlook the importance of making sure that consuming copious amounts of water don't flush out that which helps us maintain NSR. The extremely hot weather across the country brings this topic
'front and center' for afibbers.

I had posted previously both long ago and recently that I would experience AF on the golf course when I first began my AF saga and what helped me in addition to water with some salt added was to carry and use the little packets of electrolyte mix called Emergen C by Alacer .... the ingredients are not totally ideal, but the portability and efficacy saved me on several occasions. I later decoded to add powdered potassium gluconate, powdered magnesium and a small amount of salt to my water container and I drank that regularly to help keep me from flipping into AF on extremely hot days.

Eventually, though, I decided not to risk it and just didn't go if I couldn't get a very early Tee time and avoid the intense heat later on. Considering that golf doesn't require all that much exertion, the emphasis should be for those who are doing much more strenuous activity for much longer periods of time and to be sure to hydrate well and replace lost electrolytes as well.

Every afibber should be smart in these hot weather extremes.

I drink about a gallon of water per day and even then it's not enough sometimes (July/August)!

My "barometer" so to speak about hydration is simply the color of urine. If it's yellow (especially dark yellow) then that's a good sign that I'm dehydrated. I continue to consume pure water until it flows clear. And like I said that can be over 1 GALLON on hot, humid days like the ones we're experiencing right now.]]> wolfpack AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:08:31 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155162,155198#msg-155198 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155162,155198#msg-155198 Murray L AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 24 Jul 2016 19:48:20 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155162,155173#msg-155173 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155162,155173#msg-155173
