Fluids

As you focus on eating well, it’s easy to forget about fluids. Yet every cell in your body needs water. If there are days when you can’t eat solids, it’s even more important to drink plenty of liquids. They can provide much-needed calories and keep you from becoming dehydrated.

Do your best to drink plenty of water and other fluids each day. When it’s hot outside or you’re active, you’ll need to drink even more. You’ll also need to drink more if you have a fever, are vomiting or have diarrhea. Your dietitian can give you specific guidelines on how much is right for you.
