This means we need the right foods to keep us going. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/snacks-for-vegetarians\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snacks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> play a big role in hot weather. They help us refuel and avoid dehydration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let&#8217;s talk about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/dehydration-to-lose-weight\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dehydration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When it&#8217;s hot, we sweat a lot. This helps us cool down, but also means we lose water and electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we don&#8217;t replace these, we can become dehydrated. Dehydration can lead to headaches, dizziness, and heat stroke. The American Heart Association says to drink plenty of water when it&#8217;s hot and consider sports drinks for electrolytes if you\u2019re sweating a lot [<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/-\/media\/Files\/Affiliates\/WSA\/Oregon\/OR-Hard-Hats-Nutrition\/Staying-Hydrated.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snacks can help with this. Fruits such as watermelon and cantaloupe are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/water-rich-foods\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full of water<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/food-sources-of-electrolytes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">electrolytes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Other fruits, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/veggie-snacks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vegetables<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and nuts are good too. They give us energy and can be easy to carry around. Health experts suggest having healthy snacks on hand during the summer [<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatright.org\/food\/planning\/away-from-home\/smart-snacks-for-your-trip\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/protein-waffles-recipes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another important part of snacks in the heat.
