      It’s also important to replenish with sugar water in moderation. During travel, strenuous activities such as hiking and trekking consume a large amount of energy, and the body’s stored sugar may not meet the demands of the exercise. Therefore, when participating in high-intensity or prolonged physical activity, it’s appropriate to drink some sugar water to promptly replenish energy expenditure. Lastly, I’d like to point out that during travel, never drink untreated water to avoid contracting diseases.

    1. Drink diluted salt water in moderation during outdoor travel. After exercising during travel, people tend to sweat a lot. When the body sweats heavily, it loses a significant amount of inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Therefore, it is very necessary to drink some diluted salt water during travel. Mixing 1 gram of salt with 500 milliliters of water can meet the body's needs and also help prevent electrolyte imbalance.Traveler's Tales: Pioneering a New Outdoor Culture

    2. Drink water in moderation during travel—frequent small sips are better. When you’re thirsty during travel, don’t drink a large amount all at once. Instead, take multiple small sips. Do not drink more than one liter of water per hour, and aim for about 100 to 150 milliliters each time, with intervals of around one hour.

    3. Mind the temperature of your drinking water. During summer travel, the human body’s temperature is usually higher, and consuming large amounts of cold drinks can easily lead to digestive system illnesses, as the gastrointestinal tract becomes relatively ischemic due to accelerated blood circulation. Avoid drinks below 5°C; drinking cool water around 10°C is best, as it helps reduce body temperature and quench thirst.
