Hydration Tips & Education
Timing Matters
Start your day with a glass of water to kickstart hydration. Drink water 30 minutes before meals to aid digestion, and sip throughout the day rather than chugging large amounts.
Temperature Effects
Hot weather, fever, and intense exercise increase fluid needs. Air conditioning and heating can also cause dehydration. Adjust your intake based on environmental conditions.
Hydration Sources
Water is best, but herbal teas, milk, and water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables count too. Limit caffeine and alcohol as they can have mild diuretic effects.
Exercise Hydration
Drink 500ml of water 2 hours before exercise, 200ml every 15-20 minutes during activity, and replace 150% of fluid lost through sweat afterward.
Dehydration Signs
Watch for dark urine, dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, or headaches. Mild dehydration can affect concentration and mood before you feel thirsty.
Electrolyte Balance
During prolonged exercise or hot weather, you lose electrolytes through sweat. Consider adding a pinch of salt to water or eating electrolyte-rich foods.
