Dehydration + Skiing = Danger
Dehydration is a serious problem that causes many accidents every year, and it's especially dangerous when skiing or snowboarding. Put simply, the combination of cold, dry air and physical exertion can make dehydration more likely.
On the slopes, one of the main dangers of dehydration is that it can affect your performance as a rider. When you're dehydrated, your body can't function properly.
This shows up as fatigue, sluggishness and trouble concentrating.
Sound familiar? These are actually the same symptoms as a hangover, because your body is dehydrated.
This can make skiing and/or snowboarding more dangerous.
You can get ahead of this problem by checking out our article: Staying Hydrated During Your Ski Holiday, and follow our hedonist tips.
Start your day with one HANG-OVER effervescent tablet in a large 50cl glass of water. Rich in electrolytes, it'll keep you well hydrated all day long in the mountains. Beyond its electrolytes, its formula also helps to boost your body so you're ready to earn your next star!
It's also important to dress appropriately and cover your skin to protect it from the cold, dry air. A face mask or a neck gaiter can help keep your skin moisturised and stop it drying out.
Pay attention to your body's thirst signals too. If you feel thirsty, it's probably already too late.
By following this advice, you can prevent dehydration and stay healthy and safe during your winter ski holiday.
Stay hydrated and enjoy the slopes! ;)
