What can I do to stay hydrated?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is the best way to stay hydrated. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day, and consider increasing that amount if you're physically active or live in a hot climate.<|im_end|>

That sounds easy enough. What happens if I don't stay hydrated?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
If you don't stay hydrated, you may experience more severe symptoms of dehydration, such as dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and even heat stroke in extreme cases. It's always a good idea to drink water regularly to avoid these complications.<|im_end|>
