ORS Safe for Dehydration, Not for Daily Use

ORS stands for Oral Rehydration Salts, a special drink that helps people who are very thirsty or have lost a lot of fluids because of sickness or heat.

It has water, salt, and sugar in the right amounts to refill the body.

Doctors say it is good for treating dehydration, but it is not meant to be drunk every day by healthy people.

If you drink too much ORS, it can upset the balance of minerals in your body and hurt your kidneys or heart.

People who have diarrhea, vomiting, or sweat a lot during sports can use ORS sometimes, but only if a doctor says it is okay.

Healthy adults should drink plain water and eat foods that give them the right minerals.

ORS is a lifesaver when you are very sick, but it should not replace normal drinking habits.

Always follow the instructions on the ORS packet and ask a doctor if you need it for a long time.
