Why Hydration
Matters
• Boosts Energy: Even mild dehydration can lead to fatigue and sluggishness.
• Supports Detoxification: Water helps flush toxins from your system via the kidneys, liver, and lymphatic system.
• Aids Digestion & Metabolism: Proper hydration supports healthy digestion, regular bowel movements, and nutrient absorption.
• Improves Mental Clarity: Dehydration can impair focus, memory, and cognitive function.
• Enhances Physical Performance: Muscles need water to stay flexible and energised.
• Keeps Skin Radiant: Well-hydrated skin is more elastic, plump, and glowing.
• Regulates Body Temperature: Through sweat and respiration, water keeps your core temperature stable.
Best Practices for Staying Hydrated
-
Start Your Day with Water
Begin your morning with a large glass of water to rehydrate after sleep.
-
Sip Throughout the Day
Don’t wait until you're thirsty — thirst is a late sign of dehydration. Keep a bottle with you and sip regularly.
-
Know Your Needs
A general guide is 30–35 ml of water per kg of body weight daily, but needs increase with heat, exercise, or caffeine/alcohol intake.
-
Balance Electrolytes
If you're sweating a lot, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or using natural electrolyte solutions like coconut water.
-
Eat Water-Rich Foods
Include cucumbers, watermelon, oranges, leafy greens, and berries — they count toward hydration and offer added nutrients.
-
Hydrate Smarter
Herbal teas, infused water (with lemon, mint, cucumber, etc.), and broths are great alternatives if plain water feels boring.
-
Limit Dehydrating Drinks
Coffee, alcohol, and sugary sodas can dehydrate. If you indulge, balance it with extra water.
