Heat & Humidity: Stay Ahead of Thirst

🌿 Natural Focus:
Hot, humid weather increases sweat loss; thirst lags behind real needs. Use shade, light clothing, and frequent sips. Replace salt and potassium if you’re a heavy sweater. Watch for warning signs: dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, dark urine—act early with fluids, rest, and cooling.

✅ Tip of the day: If you work or exercise outside, schedule water breaks every 15–20 minutes.

🙏 Spiritual Focus:
📖 “You are my refuge and strength.” — Psalm 46:1

🕊️ Prayer suggestion: “Protect me in the heat, Lord, and help me use wisdom.”
