Don’t let yourself get dehydrated. Here are some simple ways to check your hydration level: Pinch your skin on the back of your hand (skin turgor test,) hold for 3 seconds, let go, then see if the “tent” returns to normal. Or, check the color of your urine, the clearer it is, the more hydrated you are. Be alert to: dizziness, headache, dark urine, no urination, dry mouth, muscle cramps, no sweating, chills, rapid breathing.Hopefully you won’t get to a place where you are dehydrated. Drink plenty

Slower recoil can mean fluid loss, but age and other factors can affect the results.
