Your Essential Guide to Staying Hydrated & Safe in the Summer Heat

Summer heat is upon us, and it’s reaching record highs this year. Phizz has got you covered with everything you need to know about surviving the heat and staying safe. Here are some essential tips for the summer heat: 1. Prioritise hydration Drink plenty of water and fluids throughout the day. Electrolytes and vitamin drinks, such as Phizz’s Daily 3-in-1 are a great way to keep you hydrated. Phizz hydrates you 3x faster than water alone, contains 7 key electrolytes that contribute to normal nerve and muscle function and help to maximise your physical performance. They are also a great way to absorb fluids and sustain energy levels.  2. Avoid peak sun hours Avoid spending too much time outside in the sun at the hottest time of the day, and wear lightweight and breathable clothing. 3. Wear sunscreen Apply suncream of at least SPF 30 frequently and often. This is essential to protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation and long-term damage. 4. Be aware of the symptoms of summer heat exhaustion Heat exhaustion occurs when you spend a lot of time in the heat, causing you to feel tired and unwell. Symptoms include headaches, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, and heavy sweating. If you experience these symptoms, find a cool place to rest and drink plenty of fluids. 5. Eat fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables are often high in water, so they help you to intake fluids. Top choices include strawberries, watermelon, cucumbers and celery.   Following these simple steps can go a long way in helping you stay safe, hydrated and healthier this summer, and don’t forget to pack Phizz, your perfect hydration companion for any adventure.

Mythbusting with Phizz 🧑‍🔬

Hydration. We get it. A busy market, lots of brands and LOTS of options. So what’s fact and what’s myth?  There’s a lot of information about hydration out there that can be confusing. Don’t worry, we hear you. Differing opinions can make it hard to make a decision when buying electrolytes. We want to help you make an educated decision to find the right purchase for you. Carry on reading to learn some quick facts before you go and buy this bank holiday.  Myth 1: Electrolytes are just for athletes.  Electrolytes aren’t just for athletes - they’re essential minerals, such as sodium and potassium, that everybody needs to support normal bodily functions and stay properly hydrated. They’re often associated with sport because athletes can lose higher levels of electrolytes through sweat during intense exercise. But electrolytes play an important role in everyday life too. Hydration products use electrolytes to help replenish what the body loses through everyday living, and support effective water absorption, whether you’re working out, travelling, recovering, or simply getting through a busy day. Fact: Electrolytes are an everyday essential. Electrolytes are used by the body for its daily functions. That’s why they need to be replenished regularly - not just after exercise. They support hydration balance, contribute to immune function, help protect cells from oxidative stress and maintain energy and overall wellbeing. So don’t wait until your next run to take an electrolyte supplement. Try incorporating them into your daily routine and see the change they can make! Myth 2: Sugar isn’t necessary in hydration formulas. Sugar is in a lot of products and so people have been conditioned to avoid it. But what if we told you sugar is the secret to unlocking maximum hydration?   Fact: Sugar is ESSENTIAL for effective and efficient hydration. Excess sugar is harmful, yes, and some forms of sugar are worse than others. But sugar itself is biologically useful, in fact it is essential. Many bodily functions rely on glucose, aka natural sugar. Without it, the brain stalls and muscles fail. Cutting it from your diet doesn’t make it go away, your body will produce it anyway. Responsible intake is beneficial. Sugar unlocks the sodium-glucose transport mechanism, pulling sodium, and with it more water, rapidly into the bloodstream. Remove the glucose and your body can’t use this ‘fast-track’ mechanism for faster hydration. *Head to our “Explaining how rehydration solutions work and why sugar is not the enemy.” blog to read more* Myth 3: Putting sodium (salt) in water does the same thing, for a fraction of the price. Whilst sodium is an electrolyte, your body needs other electrolytes to function, and of course anyone that’s drunk a mouthful of seawater knows it won’t taste great either! Fact: Phizz provides 7 key electrolytes. But it also goes further than hydration. In one tablet you are getting a comprehensive formula of vitamins and minerals too - 18 in fact! You are getting all round benefits with one easy tablet. And at £7.99 a tube, it works out at around 40p per tablet (one drink). That’s before we move onto our other ranges like Daily Energy, which gives you hydration, vitamins & minerals AND caffeine, and Daily Immune+ with added Vitamin C for that all important immunity protection. Not only this, it tastes a lot nicer than salty water too! Myth 4: Drinking water is enough for hydration. While water is crucial for hydration, it does not replace lost electrolytes.  Fact: Excessive water intake can actually dilute electrolytes in your body if they have not been replenished. This can then lead to imbalances. Your body can also only absorb a certain amount of water at a time. Using rehydration formulas can enhance water absorption, making it more efficient.  Yes it’s important to drink plenty of water, but without key ingredients like electrolytes, you’re not hydrating effectively, making rehydration formulas especially essential in warmer months. We hope you feel a bit clearer on electrolytes and hydration formulas now and better informed to make the right purchase for you. Try Phizz today and discover your new daily ritual. Your future self will thank you! Water's good. Phizz makes it better.
