Hydration is key in preventing rhabdomyolysis because it helps to flush out these harmful substances from the body and prevent their accumulation in the kidneys. Adequate hydration can also help prevent muscle breakdown by providing the muscles with the necessary fluids and nutrients to function properly during physical activity.
