Did you know...75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated! 💦 💧Dehydration = Fatigue. Midday energy drops aren’t just about blood sugar or under sleeping- they’re about water too. Drinking throughout the day (at meals too!) can help you stave off an afternoon energy drop. 💧Thirst = Sign of Dehydration. If you’re always waiting to drink until you’re thirsty you’re setting yourself up to be dehydrated. Try putting a glass in your bathroom and drinking as part of your ‘get ready’ routine. Adding fruit and getting a reusable water bottle can also kickstart healthier hydration habits. 💧Dehydration = Less Concentration. Even mild dehydration can negatively impact your cognitive function! Foggy memory, slower reflexes & lower threshold for irritability can all be caused by dehydration. Anxiety levels can also increase when you start to become dehydrated- so finding ways to drink more throughout the day is important for your physical and mental health! 💧Hydration = Daily Priority. Just because you drank 70-100 oz yesterday doesn’t mean you shouldn’t drink up today. The human body needs to be fueled consistently with water- that’s why humans will die within a day or two without it (we can survive much longer without food). Consistent hydration is key and your daily goal depends on your body weight & activity level. Read on for my top tips to avoid dehydration!
How are you doing with your hydration day to day? Any tips to help others or questions about how to drink more?💦
