The ideal midafternoon snack consists of the same mix of components as a good breakfast or
midmorning snack: a minimeal that includes protein and some fat as well as carbohydrates—say,
the other half of a turkey sandwich, or a couple more peanut butter crackers.
Eat To Beat The Heat
If you notice that you tire more easily in the summer, heat itself isn't necessarily to blame.
"Dehydration is what makes you tired," Grandjean says. That's because your body will keep its cells
hydrated at all costs, she says, so if you don't replace water lost through perspiration, it will simply
take water out of the circulating blood, reducing your blood volume. "As your blood volume goes
down, your heart has to work a little harder," she says. "Your body adapts to that by slowing down,
and that affects your general feeling of vitality." So your daily 8 or 9 glasses of water become more
important on hot days, and, in fact, may not be enough on some days.
