Picture this: You’re sweating through a heatwave, your brain literally *shrinking* from dehydration (*yes,really!*), when suddenly your calf cramps like a rusty garage door spring. Heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a 65,000-ER-visit-a-year menace with a 30% fatality rate when heatstroke strikes. We’re breaking down the body’s four-stage heat meltdown: from sneaky cramps to organ-frying 104°F emergencies. Learn why your pee’s color matters more than your sunscreen brand, how to turn coconut water into a “liquid superhero,” and why not sweating in scorching temps means you’re in deep trouble. Plus: Discover the electrolyte hack that’s cheaper than a Starbucks run and could save your life mid-heatwave.
