๐ง Why does your reflexologist always remind you to drink plenty of water?
Itโs not just a friendly reminder - itโs an important part of supporting your wellbeing.
Our bodies are made up of around 60% water, and every cell relies on it to function properly. Water helps transport nutrients, regulate body temperature, lubricate joints, support digestion, and flush waste products from the body.
When youโre dehydrated, even mildly, you may notice:
๐ง Fatigue or low energy
๐ง Headaches
๐ง Muscle cramps
๐ง Brain fog or poor concentration
๐ง Dry skin
๐ง Dizziness
๐ง Constipation
During a reflexology treatment, your body is encouraged to relax, rebalance, and support its natural healing processes. Staying well hydrated helps your body function at its best before and after your session.
โ๏ธ In the summer months, itโs even easier to become dehydrated. Warmer weather means we lose more fluid through sweating, and if weโre spending time outdoors, exercising, travelling, or enjoying the sunshine, our water needs increase.
A few simple ways to stay hydrated:
โ
Sip water regularly throughout the day rather than waiting until youโre thirsty.
โ
Enjoy water-rich foods like cucumber, watermelon, oranges, and strawberries.
โ
Remember that tea and coffee donโt replace water, especially on hot days.
Think of water as one of the simplest acts of self-care - it supports your body every single day.
So next time your reflexologist reminds you to drink more water, youโll know itโs because we want you to get the very best from your treatment and feel your healthiest.
The recommended daily water intake is around 8 glasses a day, although your individual needs may vary depending on your activity level, the weather, and your overall health.
