· Pay careful attention to hydration
o Eat foods which are already hydrated (fruits sprouts vegetables)
o Thoroughly rehydrate dehydrated foods such as cereals
o Drink a glass of water with every glass of coffee
o Drink water after exercise or when working in air-conditioning or in hot conditions
o Drink additional water throughout the day and night
o Avoid mouth breathing as this contributes to dehydration

· [b]Have a glass of water half an hour before a meal[/b] as water is required to produce sufficient digestive acids and it will be taken from your body if you do not supply it or else you will have poor digestion.

· If you have diarrhoea drink lots of water to rehydrate and club soda is also a good fluid.
