Temperatures are rising again, and staying hydrated is key. If you're feeling thirsty, that means your body is already dehydrated, and ideally, you don't want to get to that point. Whilst drinking water is a great way to rehydrate, people can get fixated on that.
"A common misconception is that everybody needs to drink eight glasses of water every day to maintain hydration," says qualified nutritionist Abi Roberts. "It's different for each person, but even if we take this specific requirement, it does not have to be consumed through glasses of water. Lots of food and drink can be hydrating, so you can gain your fluid intake in any of these ways and not just through pure water."
