For plasma donors, staying hydrated is especially important. Drinking water affects how your plasma is separated and the fullness of your veins. If you\u2019re dehydrated, you may be deferred from donating plasma or put yourself at risk of not feeling well afterwards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn more about the signs of dehydration you should look out for when giving plasma.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Common Signs of Dehydration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dehydration can occur if you don\u2019t drink enough fluid throughout the day or if you lose more fluid than you take in. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.donatingplasma.org\/donation\/what-is-plasma\">plasma is roughly 90% water<\/a>, drinking lots of water is needed to help your body recover post-donation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some signs of dehydration include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Dizziness&nbsp;<\/li><li>Fatigue<\/li><li>Confusion<\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/li><li>Dry mouth, lips, or eyes<\/li><li>Less frequent urination or dark coloured urine<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Stay Hydrated Before Donating Plasma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Health experts recommend drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day. If you find it difficult to meet the daily recommended intake of water, the following tips may help with that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Tip #1: Drink Flavoured Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle to drink enough water because it\u2019s not as exciting as, say, juice or soda, consider adding a sugar-free flavouring powder to your water (bonus points if it contains electrolytes).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Tip #2: Hydrate with Coconut Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coconut water is a great source of hydration, as it\u2019s loaded with vitamins like magnesium and potassium. It\u2019s like nature\u2019s sports drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Tip #3: Eat Water-Rich Fruits and Vegetables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Watermelon, cantaloupes, tomatoes, and cucumbers are all examples of fruits and vegetables that contain plenty of water. Plus, fruits and vegetables have several vitamins and minerals that are good for your overall health!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a plasma donor, you\u2019ll also want to <a href=\"https:\/\/plasmastg.giveplasma.ca\/donors\/health-nutrition\/\">avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol for at least six hours<\/a> prior to your plasma donation appointment. These substances can dehydrate your body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To feel your best after donating and help ensure that your donation is of the highest quality, it\u2019s important to stay properly hydrated before, during, and after giving plasma. Now that you have the knowledge you need to stay hydrated this summer, <a href=\"https:\/\/plasmastg.giveplasma.ca\/donors\/book-an-appointment\/\">book a plasma donation appointment<\/a> today to put the tips in this blog into practice!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that it\u2019s officially summer, staying hydrated is something that should be top of mind!
