Slow the Flow, Save H2O is a great website for water tips. You can learn how to be water wise including the best plants to use for our high desert climate, how to measure your water usage, and great water saving ideas for inside your home.
Hydration for the body is important because the body is mostly comprised of water. Drinking enough water is important at all times but especially during warm weather to keep your body from overheating. Signs of dehydration include:
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Flushed skin
• Heat intolerance
• Light headedness
• Dark colored urine
• Dry cough
The best way to beat dehydration is to drink before you get thirsty. If you wait until after you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated! There are many websites that give detailed information on how to beat the heat for both adults and children including www.webmd.com and www.familydoctor.org.
Now that your yard and garden are watered properly and you are well hydrated to tend to them, don’t forget to water your spiritual thirst. As water is essential to sustain physical life, the Savior and His teachings are essential for eternal life. “Whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst.” John 4:6-15 Living water heals, sustains us and brings us peace and joy.
Be water wise in every way!
