Oh..did I mention I was working at an altitude of 26 feet above floor
level, just a couple feet below the (metal) roof, with an outside temp
of around 99F all day?

A two liter bottle of Mt. Dew, refilled once with water , refilled
again, 2 bottles of Iced tea, 2 Monsters and Ive still not ****ed

But my clothes go crunch...crunch when I move

Under similar conditions, the instructions were "Drink the cup of
Gatorade. If it tastes good, keep drinking until it no longer does."

You may substitute you preferred electrolyte rich fluid of choice.

Electrolytes are one thing. Gatorade is sugar (+ carbohydrates with a
few stray electrolytes) and water. Gatorade and the so-called "energy
drinks" are as bad for you as most "power bars", which are sugar and
oats with a few nuts and raisins tossed in for "natural" ingredients.
What a freakin' scam!

Most fruit juices on market shelves are dosed heavily with sugar, too.

What I do: Eat more salty foods (natural, not processed) and drink
lots of water during the hot months. Honest electrolytes are good,
too, but expensive. (Hmmm, Pedialyte 4/$9, I guess not much more than
sports drinks, huh? Medicinal elecrolytes are much higher.)

Non-adiabatic exercise creates an imbalance of the intracellular and
extracellular milieu. Water and salt help bring the body into
homeostasis (a sort of liquid stochiometry) without undue hormonal
flow.

Got it? bseg
