Tip 5: Stay well hydrated!

Aim to drink enough fluids during this time to keep your body well hydrated. I know our fluid intakes can go down when we are out of our usual routine. Maybe you’re now working from home, or you’re busy minding the kids full-time, or you’re a healthcare worker taking on extra shifts in our hospitals. Keep track of how much fluid you’re drinking. Aim for at least 2-3 liters a day. We usually advise to drink 35mls per kg body weight for those under 65, and 30mls/kg body weight for those over 65years old. But be aware, you will need to drink a little more if you have a fever or high temperature.
