Another thing: it doesn't have to be hot for us to be dehydrated. Once the humidity gets below 20%, it will affect you as if the temps were triple-digit. And when it gets below 10%, you need to proceed as if it is 110f in the shade. People die of dehydration in temperatures below 70f. One night, about 3am I woke up with the dehydration headache and drank 1.5 liters of water in almost one take. This despite being as hydrated as possible all day; drinking excess water at bedtime; and temperatures not getting above about 65f all day. I'm only 5'10" 160lbs, and I was not engaging in any heavy physical activity. That's a lot of water at 3am, but that's how easy it is to become dehydrated.
So... take extra salt; don't drink alcohol or caffeine; eat as much fruit and veggies as you can. That's coming from a devout meat eater; but the extra fruit and veggies will help you maintain your ph levels. As for meat: this may be the best time to have that big ol' slab o' steak you've been meaning to have.
