These days, it can seem difficult to stay hydrated even in the cooler weather. After all, we’re running around the office, going from meeting to meeting and grabbing lunch on the go. Then we sit in traffic to head home, cook dinner and then hopefully get to bed at a decent time. Life can be tough.
But the benefits of staying hydrated are tremendous and should be taken seriously! Water isn’t the newest “trend”, it’s something that can keep you living healthy long beyond what you normally would.
Since water makes up nearly 60-70% of your body, it’s important to replenish what you lose from those long exercises and throughout the day. So put away the sugary energy drinks and grab yourself a cold bottle of water.
Here are a few tips to consider when trying to start a water-drinking habit!
1. Drink water before you are thirsty. If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.
2. Keep a glass of water next to your bed, office, and anywhere else you’ll be spending a lot of time.
3. Try and limit caffeinated drinks. Caffeine is a diuretic and can contribute to fluid lose.
Also, be aware of common signs of dehydration that include tiredness, sunken eyes, dry mouth or dark urination.
