how can dehydration be prevented
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
There is no standard recommendation for daily fluid intake because fluid requirements are different for different people and vary with age, climate, and level of physical activity. Passing urine that is light-yellow coloured is a good sign of adequate hydration.
Also, thirst is not always a reliable early indicator of dehydration. In some people, particularly older adults, dehydration precedes feeling thirsty. It is important, therefore, to increase water intake during hot weather or when ill. Dehydration can be prevented by:
Drinking plenty of fluids every day, especially when the weather is hot or when exercising
Eating foods with high water content, eg: fruits and vegetables
Drinking plenty of fluids, including rehydration solutions if fever, vomiting, or diarrhoea is present. Do not wait for signs of dehydration.
Drinking extra fluids when feeling unwell due to a short-term illness, eg: cold, influenza, bronchitis.
People with kidney stones should drink plenty of fluid every day to lower the chances of developing another stone.
