Answers:
Not only water, but consume anti-diuretics and things like soup. I would check what foods have diuretic action and steer clear of them.
Electrolytes in Gatorade and such will replenish essential minerals to help your kidneys to retain fluid rather than expel them, I believe.
I included a link of diuretic foods, again which you should avoid.
I hope you feel better soon!Health Question & Answer
