The summer is finally here and heating up fast. Are you prepared to keep your body hydrated?
It may come as no surprise that many people go through the simmering summer months without proper hydration. We drink water occasionally, but usually prefer to get our liquids from other, less-healthy sources.
According to the World Health Organization, dehydration can not only make you feel fatigued, listless, and ill, but can also cut down on your productivity and even pose a threat to your health. That is why WHO recommends that each person drink anywhere from 6-8 cups of water on average each day - and more if you are exercising or doing strenuous physical activity in the summer. A general rule of thumb is that if you are outdoors exercising or working hard and perspiring considerably for longer than 1 hour, replace electrolytes and minerals through an enhanced sports drink in addition to water.
Keeping the right amount of healthy water in your body will help you fight off the effects of summer sun and humidity. You will move better, play better, work better, and FEEL better - all terrific reasons to keep yourself hydrated during the summer.
Water helps you to keep your body well-supplied with vital liquid that your body craves. Water not only helps to revitalize your body, but also help you to combat heat stress.
Remember: Drink plenty of water this summer, and fight that heat!
Keep yourself active and lively this summer. Enjoy your favorite summertime activities, like swimming, having a BBQ, playing sports, or other fun-filled events, with the knowledge and security that your body will be protected.
Use water to quench your thirst, hydrate your body, and stay healthy.
