3. Cool Down
Another way to help yourself fight a dry mouth is just to cool down. Unsurprisingly perhaps, one of the most common reasons that we get dehydrated is that we are simply too hot! When we’re hot, our bodies have to try and cool us down. They do this by perspiring so that the water on the surface of our skin will ‘steal’ our body heat in order to evaporate.
In short, you quickly find yourself drying out – and you might find that no matter how much you’re drinking, it isn’t really enough to help!
So, what do you do? Well, one obvious answer is just to try and cool down again. That might mean getting into the shade, getting into an air-conditioned room, or just stopping the heavy exertion.
