To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids and eat foods rich in water, such as fruits and vegetables. Letting thirst be your guide is sufficient for driving a day for healthy people. Liquids must not only water but also in other beverages and foods. But if you're using, do not wait for thirst to keep your fluids.
Under certain circumstances, may need to take more fluids than usual:
Disease. Begins to give water or oral rehydration solution to one of the first signs of illness - do not wait until dehydration occurs. And while it may seem appealing, traditional "clear fluids" such as ginger ale or other drinks contain too much sugar and too little sodium to replenish lost electrolytes.
Exercise. It is usually best to start hydrating the day before strenuous exercise. Producing lots of clear, dilute urine is a good indication that you are well hydrated. Before exercising, drink cups 1-3 (0.24 to 0.70 liters) of water. During operation, replenish fluids at regular intervals, and continue to drink water or other fluids after you're done.
Remember to drink too much, not only can cause bloating and discomfort, but can lead to a potentially fatal condition in which your blood sodium becomes too low (hyponatremia). This happens when you drink more fluids you lose through sweating.
Environment. You need to drink more water in hot or wet to help lower your body temperature and replace what you lose in sweat. You may also need extra water in cold weather if you sweat while wearing insulated clothing. Heated, indoor air can cause your skin to become dehydrated, increasing your daily fluid needs. And altitudes above 8200 feet (2500 meters) can also affect the amount of water your body needs. If dehydration occurs when you exercise in a hot climate, into a shady area, sit down and start drinking water or a sports drink. Young athletes should be encouraged to let their coaches know if they have symptoms of dehydration.
