With the summer heat rolling out the corner, we can expect the sweat to follow with. Making sure you’re properly hydrated year-round is very important for your health since the body is made of 60% water. Without it, you can expect things like dry skin, fragile hair, mind and body fatigue and so much more. Here are some ways to beat the heat and stay hydrated.
Reusable Water Bottle
Carrying a water bottle with you throughout the day is an excellent way to remind yourself to keep on drinking. When you carry around a water bottle, the psychology of seeing the bottle empty could be an assistance in remembering to fill up and stay drinking.
Spice it up
Tired of drinking just plain old water? Add your favorite infusers like fresh squeezed lemon, cucumbers, berries, or whatever natural flavor you want to add! This will not only help you drink more water since you’ll get that infuser taste, but also help bring more vitamins and minerals making your water pack more of a nutritious punch. If time is scares and you need something quick and easy, grab your favorite premade water infuser at your local grocery store
Water first, Coffee last
Ever feel that mid-day crash that has you reaching you for another cup of coffee? Instead of grabbing that caffeine filled beverage, try drinking a tall glass of water first. Coffee is a natural diuretic which speeds up the process of becoming dehydrated, and the most common sign of dehydration is feeling fatigue. Does this mean water is like an energy drink? In its own way yes. Next time you feel like hitting up the local coffee shops for a quick pick me up, try quenching that sluggish feeling with a few extra cups of water
