Ehhhh, mostly hogwash.....electrolytes helps balance the body's fluids, doesn't matter if water is shed thru urine or sweated out.

"Cooling herbs" SMH.

Agrees with no ice water for drinking, saw a bird get an 'ice cream headache' once after guzzling ice water...thought she was going to die. Big ice chunk in big pan tempers the coldness of sipping puddle.
