Best practices for maintaining hydration during hot weather include drinking water consistently throughout the day, especially before, during, and after physical activity. It’s important to monitor signs of dehydration, such as dark urine or fatigue. Incorporating electrolyte-rich drinks can also help replenish lost minerals during extended exercise. Consuming hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables can further assist in maintaining hydration levels. Planning activities during cooler parts of the day can reduce the risk of overheating.
