We know that dehydration is bad for health but what steps can we take to prevent it?
There are quite a few ways to ensure that you don’t become dehydrated – check out our top eight:
1. Dehydration occurs when your body has lost more water than it has consumed. To put things right – or rather to stop it from happening in the first place – make sure you drink enough water. That means around 7 to 9 8oz glasses of water, or around two liters, every day.
2. Know your body and be mindful of how you’re feeling. If you’re developing a headache, feeling grouchy or finding it hard to focus on a task, then the chances are that you’re starting to become dehydrated.
3. If you’re undertaking exercise, then you need to drink more. Try to consume between 6 – 12oz of water for every 15 minutes that you’re engaged in the activity. When you’re done, drnk more water to ensure that you’ve replaced lost fluids.
4. Check the color of your urine. If you’re healthy and hydrated, your urine will be a pale straw color. If your urine flow is darker than this, drink more water.
5. Making sure that your diet includes fresh fruit and vegetables with a naturally high water content is a great way to top up hydration levels. All types of melon, grapes, crisp lettuce and juicy berries all pack a hydrating punch.
6. If you’re ill with severe vomiting, fever or diarrhea, then as well as taking good care of yourself generally, you need to drink more water to replace what’s being lost.
7. Hot weather? Not so much of a problem at this time of year, but depending on where you live, it’s not so many weeks before temperatures start their steady climb towards summer. If you’re at the other end of the scale and the weather’s cold so you’ve turned up the thermostat, be conscious that being in a very warm house might mean that you need to up your water intake a little to counter it.
8. Mouth health is key: if the inside of your mouth, or your tongue, is starting to feel dry, then you could be on the way to becoming dehydrated.

Hi, Whitney. We don’t recommend energy drinks because they’re full of sugars and artificial ingredients that are ultimately not good for your health. These drinks cause a temporary spike in your system that will lead to a draining crash later on. When you drink them regularly, they also negatively affect your dental health and make you prone to addiction to sugary caffeinated drinks. Check out this informative article for more info on the side effects of energy drinks.
It’s much better to drink ionized alkaline water because it’s free of sugars and rich in minerals and antioxidants that help your body recover quicker after exercise.
