Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless of your activity level.
• Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink.
• Avoid very cold drinks—they might cause stomach
cramps.
• Drink two to four glasses of fluids each hour.
• Ask your doctor how much you should drink while the
weather is hot, if he or she generally limits the amount of
fluid you drink or has you on water pills.
• Don’t drink liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar—these actually cause you to lose more body fluid.
