11Eat a healthy diet
When it comes to combating hypernatremia, a healthy diet is essential. At this stage, you do not just take in anything because what you take in goes a long way to determine your state of health. Hypernatremia is caused by a high concentration of sodium. Hence you need to cut down on your sodium consumption. The highest concentration of sodium we consume as humans is found in the salt we use to preserve and add flavor to our foods. To stay healthy and live longer, cut down on your salt consumption. If possible, steer clear of salt in the preparation of your foods. Instead of salt, you can add flavor to your meals using cayenne, paprika, and turmeric. Eat more fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, brown rice, meat, whole wheat pasta, oat, quinoa, etc. These foods are low in sodium. [8]
