Hydration is one of three essentials we should focus on. Especially important in this warmer weather 😎
Staying hydrated affects almost every major system in your body, from your brain, cardiovascular system as well as muscles and joints.
‼️ Even mild dehydration can change how you feel physically and mentally. Dehydration can quickly affect mood, focus and memory, headaches and dizziness and energy levels.
A few practical ways to stay hydrated are:
• Drink consistently during the day instead of large amounts at once.
• Increase fluids in hot weather or during exercise.
• Foods like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, soups, and yogurt also contribute to hydration.
• Electrolytes can help after heavy sweating, illness, or endurance exercise.
There’s no single “perfect” amount of water for everyone. However, the NHS Eatwell Guide recommends that most people aim for 6 to 8 cups or glasses of fluid per day.
