Ways to avoid dehydration :


Here's How:
Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
Drink fluids slowly by constantly sipping throughout the day.
Don't drink caffeinated drinks or alcoholic beverages, which can actually have a dehydrating effect.
When flying in an airplane, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol.
Drink water before, during, and after exercise--slowly!
Call your doctor if you have a temperature over 102 degrees Fahrenheit, or severe cramps.
Carry a water bottle whenever possible, especially when participating in outdoor activities in warm weather.
Remember that fluids can be lost through sweat as well as from diarrhea.



Tips:
Sports drinks can help replenish electrolytes lost from diarrhea.
Fruit juices can make diarrhea worse, so dilute them with water.
Urine should be pale yellow or clear in color. If your urine is dark yellow or odorous, take in more fluids.
Don't hesitate to call a doctor if you are concerned about severe dehydration
