Did you know that water can keep you healthy in this scorching heat? Read on to know more
Every drop counts
You really do need to drink least one and a half litres of water each day. If the weather is hot or you are involved in some physical activity, you need even more water to replenish lost fluids.
Never wait until you're thirsty
By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated and probably already lost two or more cups of your total body water composition.
So hydrate before the body starts asking for it.
Wake up and drink water
Your body loses water while you sleep, so drink a glass before you go to sleep, and again when you wake up.
Drink as you exercise
When you exercise, carry a bottle of water and drink water throughout. One needs to drink water to make up for what was lost to perspiration.
Drink when you’re ill
Even though you don’t feel like it, you especially need water when you’re not eating because you’re under the weather. You’ll dehydrate and feel much worse. Common colds and the flu can also lead to dehydration. Lethargy sets in, even with the water bottle next to you in bed. But drink up to stay healthy!
