Hey Everyone!
Let’s talk about Hydration. Hydration is the process of replenishing your body’s water supply, which is essential for many functions and benefits. When the weather is hot and temperatures are high, it is important that you get enough to drink.
Why is important to stay hydrated?
- Helps your heart: Keeping the body hydrated helps the heart more easily pump blood through the blood vessels to the muscles. And it helps the muscles work efficiently.
- Helps with dehydration: Dehydration occurs from an abnormal amount of water from the body. Dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, dry skin, mood swings, and impaired cognition, among other symptoms and risks.
Ways to stay hydrated:
- Drink water. Water is always best. (If you don’t know where to start– drink at least half your body weight in water). For example, if you weight 100lbs, drink at least 50 ounces of water.
- Eat those foods that have high water content: Eating fruits and vegetables are great such as watermelon, oranges, strawberries, pineapples, zucchini, cucumbers, lettuce and celery
- Don’t overexert yourself.
- Keep drinking even when you don’t feel well.
Drinking water has great benefits and this is my top drink of choice to be honest. Water helps regulate body temperature, lubricate joints, prevent infections, deliver nutrients, and support organ performance. As you can see, if you are not drinking water, you are missing out!
