- Stay Hydrated: Aim to drink fluids consistently throughout the day. Guidelines often recommend about eight 8-ounce glasses, which is roughly 2 liters, or half a gallon. This varies depending on personal needs and lifestyle factors.
- Moderate Salt Intake: Incorporate a moderate amount of natural salt into your diet. This doesn’t mean simply adding more salt to your meals, but ensuring that the salt you use is of good quality and used in moderation.
- Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to signs of dehydration such as dry mouth, fatigue, and decreased urine output. Similarly, too much salt can lead to feeling thirsty, bloating, and high blood pressure. Adjust your intake as needed to address these signs.
