So, now that we know how to replenish our electrolytes quickly, how do we keep a daily balance both during this heat wave and in general?\u00a0 As Courtney Hamilton, NTS nutritionist tells us, the most important electrolytes are:<\/p>

Sodium: We lose this in the highest concentration when we sweat.\u00a0 Just adding more salt to our food during the heat will help replenish sodium.

Chloride:\u00a0 This is also lost in high concentrations when we sweat but is harder to replenish.\u00a0 The best food sources are tomatoes and lettuce.

Potassium:\u00a0 This is lost very quickly in the heat and causes weakness, fatigue, and cramping.\u00a0 The best local food sources are oranges, melons, potatoes, green leafy vegetables, avocado, and beans.\u00a0 Fortunately, most are readily available at our markets.

Calcium: This seems to be a mineral everyone knows.\u00a0 The best sources are milk and green leafy vegetables.\u00a0 Many of us have cows at home so have ready access to milk.

Magnesium:\u00a0 This helps with fatigue.\u00a0 The best sources are green leafy vegetables, nuts, peanut butter, beans, and lentils.\u00a0 Nuts and peanut butter are a favorite student food.

We\u2019re not in citrus season so we\u2019re relying on banana peels in our water.\u00a0 However, oranges and lemons peels also release electrolytes in water so their peels so in a few months, we\u2019ll welcome citrus water as a new taste treat.

Now you have an idea of what you\u2019ll see on our plates as our brutal summer unfolds.\u00a0 While we\u2019ve never seen snow, it sounds awfully nice\u2026
