Traditional prevention of EAH focuses on reducing fluid consumption to avoid fluid retention before, during, and after<unk> . However, since this can risk dehydration, an alternative approach is possible of consuming a substantial amount of salt prior to<unk> . It is still important not to overconsume water to the extent of requiring urination, because urination would cause the extra salt to be excreted. The Role of Thirst In a published statement of the Third International<unk>  Consensus Development Conference, researchers concluded that drinking in accordance with the sensation of thirst is sufficient for preventing both dehydration and hyponatremia. This advice is contradicted by the American College of Sports Medicine, which has previously recommended athletes drink "as much as tolerable. In October of 2015, ACSM President W. Larry Kenney stated that “The clear and important health message should be that thirst alone is not the best indicator of dehydration or the body’s fluid needs.” In a letter to the editors of The Journal of Wilderness and Environmental Medicine, Brad L. Bennett, PhD claimed "perpetuation of the myth that one needs to drink beyond the dictates of thirst can be deadly." Similarly, authors of the Statement of the Third International<unk>  Consensus Development Conference claim this advice has "facilitated inadvertent overdrinking and pathological dilutional EAH." Critics of the ACSM's view have questioned their motives, pointing out that Gatorade is one of the organizations "platinum sponsors."
