Brush your teeth with mineral water also, and let the so-called filtered water in the hotels and restaurants rather unused. Drinking, you have much more thirsty than you! The loss of water must be replaced in a hot environment. Against the loss of mineral salt diet is recommended. A thorough personal hygiene (hand washing) is important.
