Remember to keep up a good fluid intake – at least 2 litres daily.
Water is best but other drinks count too – non caffeinated teas and coffee, diet cordials, vegetable juice and thin strained soups. Please beware that caffeinated tea and coffee are diuretics and so you will need to increase your intake volume by the volume of caffeinated drinks you take in. |
