article: When it comes to avoiding dehydration, you want to see how much water you need. As stated, 9 to 13 cups (two to three liters) of fluid, primarily in the form of water, is necessary for the average person; however, you may need to make a point of drinking more water under certain conditions.  If you exercise, make sure to drink extra water before, during, and after your workout routine. If you're experiencing excess heat or humidity in your area, you'll need to drink more water than usual to make up for fluid lost through sweat. When you're sick, particularly if you're vomiting or experiencing diarrhea, you'll need to drink more water to make up for lost fluids. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, you'll need more water. It's recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women consume about 10 to 13 cups (2.4 to 3 liters) of water a day. A good way to assess if you're getting enough water is looking at your urine color. Clear or pale yellow urine indicates you're consuming a healthy amount of water. Darker yellow urine indicates you need to up your fluid intake. You should make an effort to make sure you're getting enough water. Try to keep a log, on your phone or in a journal, of how much water you're drinking each day. If you have a smartphone, there are many apps you can purchase that help you keep track of your daily water consumption. If you want to stay hydrated, certain beverages should be avoided. Certain fluids promote dehydration and should not be a part of a healthy diet.  Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can cause dehydration. You should drink these beverages in moderation. You should also drink water while drinking alcohol, tea, or coffee to help counteract the effects of these liquids.  Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, teas, and colas, promote dehydration. You should avoid such drinks in general.  Fruit juices are often heavy on carbohydrates and not enough sodium. Try cutting them with 50% water first to help hydrate yourself. Dehydration can cause serious medical problems. If you or someone you know is experiencing signs of dehydration, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Signs of dehydration include the following:  Fatigue Lack of appetite Red or flushed skin Light-headedness Dry cough Dark urine

With its anti-itch and anti-inflammatory properties, witch hazel is a plant that has been commonly used as a home remedy for centuries. Epsom salts are made of magnesium and sulfate and offer a go-to remedy for many health ailments in addition to relaxing the mind. Magnesium helps regulate the activity of numerous enzymes, as well as raising serotonin levels in the brain. There are several ways to relieve mosquito bites with Epsom salts:  Take an Epsom salt bath. Fill a bathtub with cold or room temperature water and Epsom salts as directed on the package. Soak in the bath for 30 minutes to an hour. Create an Epsom salt compress by mixing Epsom salts with water to make a thin paste. Apply the paste to mosquito bites. Then, cover the paste with a cool, damp washcloth. Repeat as necessary. Both tulsi and stinging nettle may be able to help curb inflammation in your body.  Tulsi is a kind of basil that may also work as a natural antihistamine. Heat a couple sprigs of basil leaves up under some steam and apply gently to the hives.  Some people recommend taking freeze-dried stinging nettle, which is known for its ability to reduce inflammation in the body. Baking soda can help relieve irritation and itchiness. To make a baking soda paste, mix 3 teaspoons (15 mL) of baking soda with 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of water. Apply the paste to your bite several times a day. Although they're not proven to be effective, essential oils may help soothe your skin, treat inflammation, and may even reduce the size of the bite. Be aware of which essential oils work well with your skin (and skin type), as lavender oil, for example, may work wonders in treating mosquito bites but might also attract bees.  Tea tree oil is a great dermatological medicine. Not only does it help treat dandruff, athlete's foot, and acne, it also acts as an anti-inflammatory, itch-reliever, and it contains properties that help ward off infection.  Like tea tree oil, lavender oil can help treat swelling, reduce inflammation, and relieve the itching sensation associated with mosquito bites. Lavender oil, also like tea tree oil, may ward off other mosquitoes. Unlike tea tree oil, it may also attract bees. Peel a banana and save the banana for later (you could eat it to keep your mind off of the bite). Then, clean the bite with soap and water. Once the bite is clean, hold the inside of the banana peel on the bite for 5-10 minutes, rubbing the peel onto the skin occasionally. The banana peel may relieve any itchiness. Mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of water and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of meat tenderizer powder to make a paste. Apply the paste to the bite several times a day.  Meat tenderizer powder, which contains papain or bromelain, may help by reducing the itching sensation.  The enzymes that tenderize meat, papain or bromelain, can also be found in several natural ingredients: bromelain can be found in the juice and stem of pineapples, while papain can be found in papaya and mountain papaya.If you don't have meat tenderizer handy, but you are equipped with papaya or pineapple, cut out a piece of the meat of either fruit and apply to skin in a pinch. Apple cider vinegar may be an itch-reliever for mosquito bites because of its acidity, although this has not been proven. Be careful using apple cider vinegar, as it may irritate your bite and prevent it from healing. There are two ways to apply the cider vinegar to the bite to relieve the itch:  In a liquid solution:  Mix equal parts warm water and apple cider vinegar. Soak a cotton ball in the solution and apply to bites. Hold for a minute or two and let dry. Reapply as necessary.   In a paste:  Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and cornflour. Apply paste to bites and allow to dry. Wash off with warm water.
