When you're out in the sun all day, whether it's at a big event like the Phoenix Open or just enjoying Arizona’s beautiful weather, it’s important to stay hydrated and energized to feel good both during and after. Dehydration can sneak up quickly, and it doesn’t take blistering hot temperatures to feel its effects.

Watch: Tips from Dr. Loreena Ryder on How to Stay Hydrated and Healthy at Outdoor Events

In the interview above, Dr. Loreena Ryder from Naturopathic Physicians Group, shares practical tips on how to enjoy long days outside without feeling drained. Keep reading to learn how you can stay healthy while having fun in the sun.

1. Hydration Is Key

One of the first things to keep in mind when spending the day outdoors is hydration. Dr. Ryder recommends drinking water throughout the day, aiming for at least half of your ideal body weight in ounces. Even if the weather is mild, you can become dehydrated just as quickly. Alcohol can further dehydrate you, so it’s essential to stay ahead by drinking plenty of water or opting for a sports drink like Gatorade to replenish electrolytes and carbohydrates.

2. Prepare with IV Nutrient Therapy

If you know you’ll be out in the sun all day, preparing with IV Nutrient Therapy can help you stay hydrated and energized. According to Dr. Ryder, IV therapy delivers vital nutrients like saline, Vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, and B vitamins directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system. This can help prevent dehydration and keep you feeling your best.

3. Balance Your Diet

While outdoor events are often filled with indulgent food options, balance is key. Dr. Ryder reassures us that it’s okay to enjoy treats like bacon in moderation, especially if it provides some protein to help counterbalance the effects of alcohol or long days outdoors.

Stay Hydrated and Healthy in the Arizona Sun

As Dr. Ryder reminds us, staying hydrated, prepared, and mindful of what you eat and drink can help you avoid feeling drained after a long day outside. If you want an extra boost before or after a day in the sun, Naturopathic Physicians Group offers IV Nutrient Therapy to help keep your body hydrated and healthy.
