(NEW YORK) — Spring has sprung and summer is around the corner which means long strolls and rolling strides outside during the warm weather months.
Ahead of National Walking Day, Good Morning America tapped Dr. Liz Weinandy, lead dietitian at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, to explain what to watch out for if dehydration hits, as well as the best things to drink and eat to keep your body nourished.
Symptoms of dehydration
“There are several signs a person might be dehydrated,” she said. “Headache or confusion, extreme thirst, very dark urine, infrequent urination, fatigue, muscle cramping and lightheadedness. In extreme cases of dehydration, it can lead to heatstroke or hyperthermia (abnormally high body heat).”
When it comes to preventative measures and staying hydrated, Weinandy said, “the best way to avoid dehydration is to drink before you get thirsty.”
“In some situations, it is easier to get dehydrated, like being active in hot temperatures,” she continued.
Best drinks for hydration besides water
While some supplements like hydration packets that are added to water can be helpful for some, Weinandy said H2O still reigns supreme for staying hydrated.
“Water is usually best and suitable for most people unless they are excessively sweating, then replacing electrolytes like potassium and sodium start to become more important,” Weinandy explained. “Sports drinks and electrolyte replacement solutions are very appropriate in this situation, although keep in mind most people do not need them.”
“As for food, most fruits and vegetables have a higher water content compared to other foods,” she said. “Melons, strawberries, pineapple, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce are especially high in water and can help prevent dehydration.”
Who’s at-risk for dehydration?
Weinandy said another factor to keep in mind is that “some groups are at a higher risk of becoming dehydrated.”
“Infants, elderly and people who cannot communicate clearly” can all be more prone to dehydration, she said. “Also, being dehydrated increases the risk of developing kidney stones because urine is more concentrated.”
How much water to drink to stay hydrated
ABC News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton said the amount of water you should consume daily depends on your age, height and where you live.
Most guidelines call for the average woman to drink around 2.7 liters per day, and 3.7 liters for men.
One liter is equivalent to 33 ounces.
“Your body’s own systems will tell you when you need more water and it’s called thirst,” Ashton said. “A lot of times people think they’re hungry and they’re actually thirsty. See how it works for you.”
(CHICAGO) — Brandon Johnson, a former public school teacher, will become Chicago’s next mayor.
Vallas conceded to Johnson on Tuesday even though the Chicago Board of Elections reported that mail-in votes for the runoff election will not be counted for days.
“To the Chicagoans who did not vote for me, here’s what I want you to know: That I care about you, I value you, and I want to hear from you. I want to work with you, and I’ll be the mayor for you, too,” Johnson said. “Tonight is a gateway to a new future for this city.”
Vallas, 69, was the majority front-runner in the February election where he and Johnson, 46, led a crowded pack of candidates, all of whom failed to receive more than 50% of the vote. In that election, incumbent Lori Lightfoot became the first Chicago mayor in 40 years to fail to secure a second term.
“The only pathway forward in our city is together,” Vallas said during his concession speech late Tuesday. “The solutions we adopt and implement must work for all Chicagoans … It’s time for all Chicagoans to put aside their differences and to work together to support the daunting work ahead for Chicago’s next mayor.”
According to the Chicago Board of Elections, only 33% of those registered to vote in Chicago cast their ballots for Tuesday’s election.
In the six-week run-up to Tuesday, Vallas and Johnson sparred in numerous televised debates about issues like crime and education. However, underscoring the conversations was the obvious contrast between the progressive left of the Democratic Party, represented by Johnson, and the moderate wing of the party, represented by Vallas.
“You have Vallas being called a Republican and Johnson being called a Socialist. Those issues are designed, of course, to get a more reptilian brain response from voters, but they don’t tell us exactly where both campaigns are on the major issues rather than a broad brush,” said Arthur Lurigio, a criminologist at Loyola University Chicago. “Being extreme is in their interest.”
Johnson capitalized on comments Vallas made years ago about critical race theory and he has blasted both endorsements and campaign donations Vallas received from prominent Republicans like Darren Bailey, the Illinois senator who lost the state’s recent gubernatorial election, and a PAC founded by Betsy DeVos, the former education secretary under former President Donald Trump.
The insinuation that Vallas is a closet Republican — a smear in this reliably blue city — has appeared on yard signs, stickers and in a television ad that claims Vallas is “endorsed by the Chicago Republican Party.”
Last weekend, Republican Party Chairman Steve Boulton released a statement denouncing Johnson and said his “campaign is lying yet again” about the endorsement. “The ad is false, and under federal law, the broadcasters are under an obligation to pull the ads,” he said.
Vallas, who earned the endorsement of the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, had blasted Johnson for comments he made years ago about defunding the police. Both men said they want to hire more detectives, although Vallas said he wants to fill more than 1,700 vacancies in the department, while Johnson said he wants resources directed to schools and mental health services. Vallas also said Johnson’s plan to raise $800 million in additional taxes would cripple the city’s economy.
Vallas earned the backing of prominent leaders within the state Democratic Party, including U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. Johnson, a former school teacher whose campaign was funded by the Chicago Teachers Union, was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and civil rights leader Jesse Jackson.
(NEW YORK) — Former President Donald Trump aired a litany of grievances about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other ongoing investigations against him during his first post-arraignment remarks.
The scene at Mar-a-Lago mirrored that of a campaign rally, with the former president shaking hands and pumping his fist as “God Bless the USA” — a signature Trump rally anthem — played through the speakers.
Trump took a defiant tone from the Mar-a-Lago podium, describing the charges brought against him as an “insult to our country” and painting them as an effort to “interfere with the upcoming 2024 election.”
“I never thought anything like this could happen in America,” Trump said Tuesday as he spoke out about his arrest for the first time.
“The only crime that I’ve committed is to fiercely defend our nation from those who seek them to destroy it,” he continued.
The 2024 presidential hopeful alluded to his status as a candidate for office, arguing the charges amounted to political persecution.
“They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” he said.
He also at times attacked Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, as well as some members of their families. Spotted in the crowd at Mar-a-Lago were Trump’s children, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump, Notably, his wife, Melania Trump, as well as daughter Ivanka Trump, son Barron Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner were not seen in the audience.
Trump had received a warning from Merchan hours earlier to refrain from language that could incite violence or jeopardize the well-being of any individuals, though the judge did not impose a gag order.
The former president targeted not only Bragg, but also most of the other legal matters in which Trump is currently entangled. Portions of his remarks were riddled with falsehoods as he ranted against the Department of Justice’s probe into his possible mishandling of classified information and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ probe into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
Also in attendance at the Mar-a-Lago remarks were Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
Trump was indicted last week, becoming the first former president to ever officially face charges. He surrendered Tuesday afternoon at a lower Manhattan courthouse, where he was processed as a criminal defendant, including having his fingerprints taken. Appearing in court, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. He’s denied all wrongdoing.
The statement of facts that accompanied the indictment alleged Trump orchestrated a “catch and kill” scheme to hide damaging information from the public during the 2016 presidential race, then fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal that criminal conduct.
Prosecutors said the scheme dated back to 2015 and continued while he was in the Oval Office, and included payments by others to two women who claimed to have heard long-denied affairs with Trump as well a a former doorman at Trump Tower who had claimed to have a story about Trump having a child out of wedlock, though the story wasn’t true.
Bragg spoke after Trump’s arraignment, emphasizing the law applies to every American “no matter who you are.”
“We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct,” the district attorney said.
Each count of falsifying business records is punishable by up to four years in prison.
It’s time for more adventures with Lil Dicky and friends: the FXX comedy Dave is back Wednesday for season 3.
This season picks up where last season left off, with the gang out on tour — perfect for star and creator Dave Burd aka Lil Dicky. He tells ABC Audio what excited him most was being in different cities in the first episodes and having “all these different types of themes and short film vibes all around every single time, all while certainly having a cohesive story together throughout the season.”
It’s a life he and Davionte “GaTa” Ganter — Dicky’s real-life hype man — know well.
“Before any of the show, me and GaTa were touring musicians,” he explains. “Those experiences being so incredible, and interesting and enlightening … was such a light bulb moment in my brain to be like, ‘This is a TV show,’ you know?”
Season 2 premiered back in June 2021, and Burd shares why so much time passed between seasons: “I’m still just as active as a musician as ever … I have to be able to make my album, I have to be able to work on my music career.”
Besides, says Burd, “The idea of making a show about my life becomes almost false if you’re not living a life.”
Despite the show’s success, Burd says only about one in 10 people call him Dave rather than Dicky. But he notes, “Before the show, it was zero in 10 people. As much as that is my rap name, I don’t relate to being called [Lil Dicky] the same way I would be called Dave.”

Donald Glover‘s career went through a rough patch during his pre-Atlanta days. His request to perform at the BET Awards was turned down, as they wanted Kendrick Lamar, and he got booed while opening for Kid Cudi at New York’s Terminal 5. If there’s one door he’s happy closed, however, it’s his former desire to be on the cast of SNL.
“I dodged so many bullets,” Glover tells GQ. “Me being on SNL would’ve killed me. I got friends who made it on SNL and, at the time, I was like, damn. But if I got on SNL, my career wouldn’t have happened.”
“And thank God,” Glover continues. “Thank God I didn’t get some of those pilots. I wanted so desperately to be on Parks and Rec because it was the cool, hipster show. I am the bullet dodger. I feel like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. That wasn’t a mistake, you know? God did that.”
Glover says he heard his stint with stand-up was the reason he failed to secure a position on SNL, but chalks his comedy experience up to the fact that “everybody’s got to pay a price.”
“If I hadn’t done that stuff, I probably wouldn’t have been in The Daily Show’s writers room,” he says.
As bad as his stand-up was, Glover says he received some words of encouragement from a fellow comedian. “I was with Chris Rock, and he was like, ‘People aren’t good [at stand-up] until they’re your age. The only one who was better when he was younger was Eddie [Murphy]. Why aren’t you doing this s***?’”
Though he’s building his new production company/incubator/cultural library Gilga, Glover’s now down to take another stab at comedy.
The Revivalists‘ new single, “Kid,” has been climbing the charts, hitting the top three on Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay ranking. Though the band’s collective family has been expanding in recent years, the song isn’t addressed to one specific “kid.”
“In a non-condescending way, it’s being sort of paternalistic,” guitarist Zack Feinberg tells ABC Audio of “Kid’s” message. “If you’re talking to somebody, like, ‘Hey, kid,’ like, pat them on the back, in an encouraging way, in a really kind way.”
Frontman David Shaw feels that the openness of “Kid” allows listeners to “attach their own story a bit to it.”
“For me, for instance, it could be a letter to my past self,” Shaw explains. “It’s, like, ‘Hey, you’re gonna be OK just living your truth, live for the spirit of right now.'”
While that’s how Shaw may see the song now, that wasn’t exactly his original intention during the writing process.
“We don’t necessarily know where some of this comes from,” Shaw says. “It’s just an interesting thing that kinda just, like, happens.”
“Often times, I think, we figure some of this stuff out kind of, like, later, which is really interesting,” he adds. “It’s a part of the art I really cherish and love, I think.”
“Kid” is the lead single off The Revivalists’ upcoming album, Pour It Out into the Night, due out June 2.
The Beatles have influenced a lot over the years, including hairstyles, clothes and other musicians. And apparently that also includes comics.
A new exhibit at the Liverpool Beatles Museum, curated by former Spider-Man editor Tim Quinn, examines that influence on comics, including a variety of artwork featuring the legendary band from several world-famous cartoonists.
“The exhibition all started after I came across a comic which referenced the Beatles. Back in 1963, I was cutting these comics out and sticking them in a scrapbook as each Beatles reference came out,” Quinn tells the Liverpool Echo. “I then realized that the Beatles, as their fame grew, were just about everywhere in newspapers and magazines, and that somebody needed to compile this. I’ve been preparing for this exhibition for 60 years!”
The exhibit, which is now open to the public, plans to continuously add new artwork. In addition to Quinn, it will be curated by Roag Best, who is the brother of former Beatles drummer Pete Best.
Best shares, “We know about the movies, we know about the records, we know about all these different aspects, but we felt that the Beatles in comics had been overlooked.”
He adds, “After sitting with Tim and discussing the exhibition, it seemed like a no brainer that we should do something to represent the Beatles in comics.”
If you’re upset at having to pay 50 bucks for a Taylor Swift tour t-shirt, this’ll make you feel better: Some of Elton John‘s tour merchandise is going for more than $2,000 a pop.
For the current U.K. leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, Elton has teamed up with the upscale department store chain Selfridges for a special collection of merchandise. The items include regular stuff like t-shirts, mugs and socks, but those fans with deeper pockets can purchase a $300 candle shaped like a platform boot, a $400 Elton teddy bear, a $2300 suitcase, a $2500 polka-dot jacket, a $2200 clutch purse and a $2100 silk bathrobe.
Other Elton-branded items include boxer shorts, rugs, ceramic vases and plates, eyewear, and a yellow Snoopy figurine wearing Elton-style glasses that’ll set you back $425.
You can order all these items online from Selfridges if you’re not in the U.K. for the tour. Elton’s currently in the middle of a string of shows at London’s O2 Arena which runs through April 17.
