We have compiled a list of tips to stayed hydrated during the summer.
-Always keep a bottle of water with you to remind you to drink.
-Start and end your day with a glass of water.
-Enjoy a glass of water before each meal.
-Thirst is not the best indicator that you need to drink water. If you get thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.
-Drink water before you exercise or go out in the heat is a good rule.
-Watch your caffeine and alcohol consumption. Drink a glass of water for every glass of wine or cup of coffee you enjoy.
-Eat foods that contain water... watermelon, yogurt, oranges, salads count.
-Drink enough water to go to the bathroom every two to four hours, and your urine should be a light color.
