Coffee and Caffeinated Beverages

Caffeine acts as a diuretic, increasing urine production and potentially worsening dehydration.

Alcohol

Alcohol dehydrates the body by promoting increased urine output and impairing the body's ability to absorb water.

Salty Snacks

High-sodium foods, such as chips and pretzels, can exacerbate dehydration by drawing water out of your cells.

Sugary Drinks

Beverages with high sugar content, like soda and fruit juices, can lead to fluid imbalance and worsen dehydration.

High-Protein Foods

Excessive protein intake requires more water for digestion and can contribute to dehydration if fluid intake is insufficient.

Fried Foods

Greasy and fried foods are hard to digest and can lead to stomach discomfort and dehydration.

Spicy Foods

Spicy foods can cause excessive sweating, leading to fluid loss and increased risk of dehydration.
