rehydration strategies

Rehydration involves replacing lost fluids and electrolytes to restore balance in the body, especially during illness or dehydration. Strategies include drinking oral rehydration solutions (ORS), which contain water, salts, and sugars to quickly replenish essential minerals and energy. In healthy individuals, plain water or electrolyte drinks like sports drinks may suffice. For more severe dehydration, medical treatments like IV fluids provide faster and more accurate replenishment of fluids and electrolytes. Proper rehydration supports bodily functions, aids recovery, and prevents complications such as dizziness, weakness, or organ stress.
