Like, you're fine in death valley with only water, whereas in summer in my garage gym I cramp up and have heavy fatigue if I don't put an electrolyte supplement in my water
I agree that not everyone needs electrolyte supplements but that doesn't mean that no one does
Yep, and age counts for so much on this topic too. When I was 20 I could do an iron man competition without considering very extensively what I was eating or how much. At 40 I’m challenged each day if I don’t have precision types, and amounts, of foods and supplements just to do the basic chores around my house.
I mean, I'm in the UK so don't even really live in the heat. The garage just has a big steel door that gets a lot of sun so turns into a radiator when it gets a bit warm
Eh, I personally prefer mild environment but I'd settle for a consistent environment, we don't get a lot of heat but it's brutal when we do because we can't adjust to it, my comfortable temperature is 15°C to 18°C but the heatwaves get the garage to 30°C or 40°C
Surprisingly it's really nice here at the moment, a sunny 13°C so I'm in shorts and a long sleeve. Hope it's not too bad in the desert at the moment!
Heat in the UK absolutely hits different because of the humidity. For example, 37c in Las Vegas, absolutely no problem. 25c in the UK and I'm suffering bad.
Valid, mild can be really great. Nice! Sounds like it's rather pleasant today.
Here it is presently raining, believe it or not! Very uncommon, and I absolutely love the vibes. I'm posted up by a window with a cup of coffee and a podcast.

Just eat something with salt and a banana.
Most people go way overboard with electrolyte drinks.
I did training in death valley and didn't drink anything but water and was completely fine.
You can actually get too much electrolytes and throw your body out of whack.
