Staying hydrated in summer is vital for health. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily, increasing intake during physical activity or heat. Eat hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges. Balance water with electrolytes by consuming sports drinks or coconut water. Limit diuretics like alcohol and caffeinated beverages. Monitor urine color; pale yellow is ideal. Drink water regularly, not just when thirsty. Use apps or alarms for reminders. Wear lightweight clothing to reduce sweating. Stay cool by avoiding peak sun hours and seeking shade. Schedule exercise during cooler times and hydrate before, during, and after. Pay extra attention to children, the elderly, and those with medical conditions. Practice and educate others on good hydration habits to stay healthy and safe.
