Light Clothing​

Avoid blacks that absorb heat or darker shades. Choose light colours and breathable fabrics or linens that are light on your body and skin, preventing itches and rashes from sweat.

Fevers and Infections

Aid Your Body to Recover from Fevers

Beat symptoms from fevers and help your body recover better

Your body is said to have a fever when it’s faced with an infection, and your immune system automatically raises your body temperature to fight it off. As your body grows hotter, you’ll experience the sweats, growing fatigue and loss of energy. Helping your body stay capable of fighting the infection is key.

Monitor Temperature

Monitor Temperature

Keep a tab on your temperature periodically. If you have a high fever over 103°F or 39.5°C, you will need to consult a doctor and take medication to keep the fever in check. If your fever is mild, yet lasts more than 48hrs, see the doctor as you will need to treat the underlying infection.

Hydration

Hydration

While you have a fever and your temperature readings are high, you sweat constantly as your body attempts to regulate heat. As a result you lose precious electrolytes which make you experience fatigue and tiredness. A bottle of Pocari Sweat is perfect to keep your body hydrated and replenish precious salts that are lost. Vitality is key in recovery.

Rest

Rest

While your body fights off the infection, it needs time to rest and repair. Ensure not to push yourself to perform physically strenuous tasks, and take naps as and when possible to help your body come back to its healthy state again.

Physical Training and Fatigue

The Building Blocks of Physical Training

Dancers, athletes, runners- all need the same thing, proper care for the body

If you’re someone who pushes their body to its limits while honing a craft, skill or interest through physical training, your success will depend on your practices as much as your discipline. So while you bolster forward towards training your body to perform better, keep three things in mind along the way…

Nutrition

Nutrition

When you exert your body physically, you expend a lot of your energy. What’s more is that your body needs the right sources or nutrition to repair and rebuild muscles as they wear out from endurance. Eating what is right for your body type as well as the type of physical activity you partake in, will provide the necessary nourishment needed for your body to keep up with your routines. If not, you’ll fall short of the energy and strength needed to be better.

Hydration

Hydration

Keeping your body well hydrated pays off in many ways. It is necessary so that important elements such as oxygen, nutrients and energy are carried to every cell in your body through body fluids. Sweating daily causes you to lose precious electrolytes which can lead to thirst, lack of energy and dehydration on the whole. Muscle cramping is a common sign of dehydration, which can simply be fixed with a bottle of Pocari Sweat being added to your training schedule.

Repair & Rejuvenation

Repair & Rejuvenation

While the right nourishment and proper hydration are part of helping your body repair and replenish itself, look at alternative means of relieving muscle tension and help your body relax and recover. Getting proper sleep is at the top of the list. Get a deep tissue massage to aid contracted or overworked muscles. A sauna, swimming or muscle compression also help go a long way.

Exams and Alertness

Prep for Examinations Require Your Mental A-Game

Alertness & Cognitive Functioning

Exposure to harsh environments can have a negative impact on your body

Who doesn’t like signing up for summer camp? Whether it’s a football retreat or just a week-long outdoor getaway in nature, there are 3 simple habits that could help you make the best of your trip, while avoiding any stress or damage to your body on account of the sweltering heat the great outdoors poses.

Proper Sun Protection

Proper Sun Protection

Choose light linens in light colours or active dry-fit wear that won’t stay wet against your skin. Staying out in the sun can cause you to sweat and get dehydrated easily, which is why you should choose to use a hat or cap to block out some of the heat from hitting your head directly. This will ensure you don’t feel easily tired or fatigued.

Adequate Hydration

Adequate Hydration

It is a no-brainer that spending extended periods in harsh sunlight will cause you to be dehydrated quicker than you being in an indoor setting.
