Stay Hydrated!

Especially going into the cooler months, we can forget to drink enough fluids. Chronic dehydration can cause a whole host for problems, from headaches, muscle cramps and brain fog. Are you staying hydrated?

1. Your body is roughly 50–60% water. The exact amount varies with age and body composition. Water is an essential part of your cells, tissues, and organs. nationalacademies.org

2. Water helps cushion and lubricate your joints. Staying hydrated supports the fluids that protect your joints as you move throughout the day. CDC

3. Hydration supports clear thinking. Dehydration can contribute to difficulty concentrating and changes in mood—so your water intake can affect how you feel mentally as well as physically. CDC

4. Water helps regulate body temperature. Your body loses water through sweat, making fluid replacement especially important during exercise and hot weather. U.S. Geological Survey

5. Water supports digestion and waste removal. Adequate hydration helps prevent constipation and allows your body to remove waste through urine, sweat, and bowel movements. CDC
