Dehydration

Yes. To prevent dehydration in the hot summer, drinking plenty of fluids and eating foods which contain high water content like water Melons too help.  Standard Salted water, salted yogurt drinks too help in preventing dehydration. Another important factor is, one should drink small amounts of water, even when you are not thirsty.

Inn this hot weather every one should drink a lot of water, not normal water but salt water as a remedy of dehydration

Drinking plain water is definitely good but salt water is not..you may add a pinch of salt and sugar to the drinking water but not more than that since too much salt in our system can increase blood pressure

Too much salt and free flow salt which is available in market is not good for health. WE can used pinch of salt if we have dehydration problem otherwise plan water is good one. 

now free flow salt is not good for health. Only rock salt is good for health because it does not flow freely. Soon someone will say free flowing water is not good for health.  only non free flowing water in form of ice is good. One member may support it.

I think electral water is good to drunk during hot weather to prevent dehydration as it has all the minerals. These minerals will replenish the body during dehydration..

There are several Home Remedies to prevent dehydration in hot summer. it's a practice in our family to drink Butter Milk, a combo of Baking Soda and Salt. Above all drinking pure water occasionally makes your Body re hydrated.

If we have  not dehydration problem than we never drink electrol water. In  normal condition ordinary water is enough.

Dehydration is depletion of water in our Body. We have to maintain a balance to keep the content of water, by drinking water every 1 or 2 hours with a bit of salt added.

 I think dehydration is not only depletion of water but it is depletion of minerals like potassium, sodium chloride, etc. If we consume only water then the remaining minerals in our body get diluted, hence we must add salt (sodium chloride) and other minerals as well in water to replenish the lost ones..

I already mentioned above that a pinch of salt must be added to the drinking water. In addition to this, it helps consuming water rich vegetables like cucumbers, Lettuce .

That is a good point you made, that's precisely why doctors advise on adding a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt to boiled water when you have dehydration due to any factor, either weather or health problems like dysentery..

Dysentery or lose motions cause dehydration.  It happened in my daughter's case years ago. The doctor advised frequent in take of water mixed with Sugar and a pinch of salt.

Since we have arrived at a conclusion that dehydration can be corrected by adding salt and sugar to water and there is no other more plausible known remedy, it seems there is nothing else left to discuss and discover, so closing the thread.
