Hydration for Everyday Activity
Whether you are walking, training, working outdoors or enjoying a warm day, it helps to plan fluids before you feel very thirsty.
Simple Hydration Tips
- Drink water regularly across the day.
- Carry a bottle when travelling, commuting or exercising.
- Choose water-rich foods such as fruit, salads and soups.
- After heavy sweating, include foods or drinks containing minerals such as sodium and potassium.
- Follow the directions on any electrolyte-style powder or drink you choose to use.
Needs vary with temperature, activity length, clothing and individual factors. A practical plan is to start hydrated, keep fluids available and replace what is lost through sweat.
