Drinking a sufficient amount of water during summer can be challenging; therefore, it is important to adopt beneficial habits that help us stay hydrated throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some expert-backed ways to navigate summer with ease, ensuring optimal hydration during this period:<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Collected \/ Lanju Fotografie \/ Unsplash<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&gt; <\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" data-aspectratio=\"\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Collected \/ Lanju Fotografie \/ Unsplash<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start your day with hydration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is advised to pre-hydrate before starting your day rather than waiting until the evening to catch up on water intake. A few days before the peak of summer, adjusting your drinking habits can also help you cope better with the heat. Drinking water consistently throughout the day is essential. It&#8217;s also a good idea to carry a water bottle with you wherever you go.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Collected \/ Thao LEE \/ Unsplash<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&gt; <\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" data-aspectratio=\"\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Collected \/ Thao LEE \/ Unsplash<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flavour your fluids and eat your water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of plain water, try flavoured drinks or include foods with high water content\u2014such as watermelon, cucumbers, and citrus fruits. Adding water-rich fruits and vegetables to your meals is highly beneficial. A glass of lemon water with a pinch of salt can be refreshing, or try infusing water with natural flavours like lemon slices, ginger, mint, or cucumber.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snack smart with electrolyte-rich foods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ramadan might be over, but don&#8217;t underestimate the power of dates! They&#8217;re rich in natural sugars and electrolytes, making them an excellent hydrating snack. Dates also provide a quick energy boost\u2014perfect for sluggish summer afternoons.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Collected \/ Towfiqu barbhuiya \/ Unsplash<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&gt; <\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" data-aspectratio=\"\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Collected \/ Towfiqu barbhuiya \/ Unsplash<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIY electrolyte boosters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use ingredients like coconut water, bananas, spinach, and almonds to create electrolyte-rich beverages that replenish fluids lost through sweating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid dehydration triggers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watch out for common dehydration triggers such as sugary beverages, salty foods, fried foods, and excessive caffeine. These increase urine output and can lead to excessive thirst and dehydration.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The writer is the Chief Clinical Dietitian and Head of the Dietetics and Nutrition Department at United Hospital.
