  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balance Life Chiropractic.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We're with doctor Harley. Hello, doctor Harley, Hey John, how
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: are you.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm good excited for the fourth of July this weekend
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people are going to be out
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in the sun, and there's probably some things we should
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: talk about to make sure you're prepared for.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: That, right, Right, Memorial weekend is like the kickoff to summer.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: July fourth is like the halfway point. You know, everyone's
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: out cooking or shooting off fireworks or camping or late days,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of time spent outside.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those stay hydrated holidays, right.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not gonna be as hot as it
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: was a few weeks ago, but temperatures are getting back
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: up there this weekend, so I figure this is a
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: good time to talk about saying, you know, proper hydration
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: morning signs are like heat, exhaustion, heat stroke, because you
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: don't want those.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: So if I'm drinking beer all weekend, does that count?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: No? It does not.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: That's not hydrating.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: No, it's very dehydrating.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So that's actually the opposite of hydration.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Right, So if you are drinking a few beverages like that.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Make sure you're drinking some water. You know, I would
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: say ideally to keep one to one ratio. If you're
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: drinking a beer, drink of water in between, even though
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: it has liquid in it, or if.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: It's light beard does that counter same thing? Right?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Alcohol in general is dehydrating, same with caffeine. You if
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: you're drinking a lot of coffee and tea, you know, yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: sure youre drinking liquid, but those extra stuff in the
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: liquid are dehydrinks. So you need to make sure you
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: drinking plenty of water, regular water.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Now just plain water.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: What if I do something like a power aid or
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a Gatorador one of those aid things, does that help
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: or is that different.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: To those are great if you're doing a lot of sweating.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: You know, if you're not really sweating or like doing
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of excessive amount of activity, it's not really necessary.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: But yeah, if you find that you're sweating a lot,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: it's important to drink those because it's gonna help replenish
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: your electrolytes. Because we lose a lot of those electrolytes
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: like sodium potassium in our sweat. So if we're just
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: drinking water, you're's gonna still have some issues because you
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: don't have those electrolytes in water. So that's where that
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: elect you know, electrolyte powders, gatorades, power raids, that kind
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: of stuff are going to help replenish that can keep
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: you more hydrated.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I saw a thing on the internet, so it has
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to be true, right, I saw a lady talking about
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: she puts salt.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: In her water in the summer. Is there a reason
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for that? I was like, what is going on with
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: this lady?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Salt isn't electrolytes.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Oh maybe that's why.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of those electric potters do have salt
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: in them, or it's a salt and potassium.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So I thought she was just nuts, but too much salt.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: She might be nuts anyway, but she also has maybe
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a little something.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Then too much salt is not necessarily a good thing though. Either.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: A watermelon is a good fruit. If you're eating a
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: lot of watermelon, it's really hydrating because it is water melon.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: It is so good too.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So all of that to say, make sure you drink
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: plenty of water, and then also probably if you can
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: stay out of the direct sun too, right right.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: You know, shade, make sure we're in sunscreen. If you
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: are outside, you'll protect your skin from those harmful UV rays,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: especially if you're out in the middle part of the days.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: That's when those TV rays are the highest and the hottest. Yeah,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: making sure that, Yeah, being more weather aware.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I remember this young man that I knew twenty years ago.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It was me back then, was maybe more than probably
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. It's before I met Heidi, so
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: maybe thirty years ago.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. Anyway, it was on a.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Hot summer weekend that I fell asleep in a lawn
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: chair in the sun.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I do not recommend. I bet you had.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I was so sunburnedeing, oh yeah, and then there's all
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: kinds of people around me. Everybody just left me there
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and I was zonked out for like two hours, just
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: laying in the sun, no sunscreen, of course, because I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was an idiot.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: So I don't encourage you to do that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be taking a nap in a chair,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: even if you might happen to take a nap and chair,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: make sure it's in the shade, right, and even.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: In the shade, you can still get affected by UV.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So I meanybe, just don't take a nap outside, that's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: right without sunscreen or yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I've got many other things you should avoid as well.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Just let's get together. I don't I don't want to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: put them all out there on the show. If somebody
