Dehydration Migraine

 Trying to drink more water!

  • Drink enough fluid: Most people need between 4 and 6 cups of water per day, though some individuals may need more or less.
  • Eat fluid-rich foods: Foods, such as cucumbers, other vegetables, and fruits have a high water content.
  • Get enough fluid throughout the day: Spreading out the amount of fluid consumed rather than drinking it all at once helps keep the body hydrated.
  • Hydrate more during exercise or exposure to hot weather: During times of heavy sweating, such as during heavy exercise or exposure to hot weather, water needs increase. Drinking more water during these times will replenish the extra fluids that are lost through sweat.
  • Treat underlying causes of dehydration: Fevers and infections can cause the body to lose more fluid than normal. Addressing the causes of dehydration while increasing fluid intake can help prevent dehydration.
  • Avoid caffeinated beverages and alcohol: Caffeine and alcohol can both increase urine output, leading to a higher risk of dehydration.
  • Reduce strenuous activity during heat or if feeling unwell: Heat and illness can both increase the body’s need for fluids. Heavy exercise can cause extra fluid loss through sweat that can be dangerous in these situations .https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317511#Preventing-a-dehydration-headache
