But the real trick is to take salt pills (or a teaspoon of salt) at breakfast time, before going to work. Salt helps the body retain liquids, preventing dehydration, which may still occur even when driniking a lot.
We were taught that salt pills do more harm than good and there's enough sodium in tap water to provide all the salt necessary to replace that which is lost through sweating.
