Fluid Replacement Guidelines

Fluid replacement guidelines recommend replenishing lost fluids during activities like exercise, heat exposure, or illness. Generally, drink water regularly to stay hydrated. For prolonged activities or heavy sweating, consider electrolyte drinks to replace salts and minerals. It's important to start hydrating before feeling thirsty and to continue afterward. Monitor your hydration by checking urine color; pale yellow indicates good hydration, while dark yellow suggests you need more fluids. Adjust your intake based on individual needs, activity level, and environmental conditions to maintain optimal hydration and overall health.
