 for easy access when you are at work or running errands. When participating in physical activity, it is important to drink before you even feel thirsty. Thirst is a signal that your body is on the way to dehydration. Choose water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages or try adding a wedge of lime, lemon, or even cucumber to your water. Also, remember to check with your healthcare provider if you are on fluid restrictions due to a medical condition.
