The only thirst trap we’re bookmarking is this one. There’s nothing better to quench your thirst than an icy glass of water. Keep cool and stay hydrated on hot days to prevent yourself from becoming unwell. Follow these simple tips: - carry a water bottle with you when you’re outdoors and keep topping it up throughout the day - drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. If your doctor has advised you to limit fluids, ask how much you should be drinking in the heat - stick to water, don’t replace your water intake with alcohol or sugary drinks.
