Who is this relevant for?

For anyone going on holiday to a warm climate or wanting to stay active during their holiday.

Why are people searching for this?

Due to higher temperatures, walking, swimming, sightseeing, and longer days, you often lose more fluid than usual without noticing.

What do you need to know?

  • Start the day with enough fluids.
  • Take a water bottle with you everywhere.
  • Drink small amounts regularly.
  • Take excursions and beach days into account.
  • Adjust your hydration in hot weather.

Comparison

  • Hotel: drink immediately after getting up.
  • Beach: bring enough water.
  • City trip: drink regularly while walking.
  • Active holiday: pay extra attention to fluid loss.

Scientific explanation

High temperatures cause the body to release more heat through sweating. As a result, fluid loss often increases. The exact amount varies from person to person and depending on the situation.

Practical checklist

  • Drink before you leave.
  • Bring a refillable bottle.
  • Drink throughout the day.
  • Find somewhere cool during the hottest hours.
  • Take extra care during exercise or long walks.

Common mistakes

  • Only drink during meals.
  • Don’t bring any water.
  • Underestimate the sun.
  • Only drink when you’re thirsty.
