1/2 liter per 1/2 hour
Don't Think Just Drink
This rule title is still a work in progress. All that I am trying to convey is that our body will let us know when it needs some fluids. As adults we need about 8-12 glasses a day and that's based solely on our level of activity. One easy rule if you work outdoors is 1/2 (.5) liter of water every 1/2 hour. Remember you are outside in the heat so you're sweating constantly and you're losing it more than you can consume it. - 2
That's a lot of water!
Store Plenty Of The Stuff
We can never have too many sources of hydration. In this part you will be shown the multiple sources of fluids and nutrients, some may surprise you. Store bottles of water in the freezer so that throughout the day they will melt and you will have cold water for drinking all day long. If water isn't your thing, try drinking 100% fruit juice. Next up, sports drinks, these have the electrolytes and other nutrients inside them that can help you get-by. Eat plenty fruit and vegetables like lettuce, watermelon, broccoli, and grapefruit. Milk and low fat cottage cheese, surprisingly are fine sources of hydration. You may also try eating apples, baked potatoes, chicken, and beef. Yeah I know!! - 3
OUCH!!!
Slow And Steady.....
Don't drink too fast or too much or you could get sick. Very painful. - 4
This is great!!!
Kids Need This Too
This can be a major problem for some parents because they have to basically force their kids to stay hydrated. Of course you know that the hardest one to get kids to do is drink water, so there are alternative methods. Sports drinks work well for kids they like the taste and it keeps you worry free. 100% fruit juice or you can make some popsicles form the juice, kids love these. Give your children plenty of fruit during snack-time as this will help to keep them hydrated too. You'll see how easy it can be if you promote these good habits yourself and your children will follow right along.
