A:
If you are thirsty, you are already beginning to become underhydrated. If you sweat alot during exercise and as a result lose weight post-workout, you are underhydrated. If you are fatigued and hungry eventhough you have had plenty of rest and food, you may be underhydrated. If you experience muscle cramps you may be underhydrated. If you have recently had a stomach virus or food poisoning you may be underhydrated.
Aim for eight 8 oz glasses of water each day to assure that you are at an adequate level of hydration. If you sweat excessively, or have had a recent bout of vomiting or diarrhea you may want to drink an electrolyte replacement drink to help you rehydrate. Drinks such as pedialyte, certain coconut waters, and Smartwater, have electrolytes in them and help to balance out your water losses.
Live Well!
