Winter Dehydration Risks and Hydrating Foods

In winter, people can get dehydrated even though it's cold.

Older adults and people with certain health conditions are more at risk.

Drinking water when you're thirsty isn't always enough.

To stay hydrated, you can eat and drink warm foods like rasam, sambar, vegetable soup, and warm milk.

These foods help replace fluids and electrolytes.

It's important to sip small amounts often and include warm broths or soups in your daily diet.

Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol, and plan to drink fluids if you're exercising in the cold.

Always consult a doctor for personalized advice.
