Why is Staying Hydrated Important?

The truth, most of us probably aren’t getting enough water.  We all know that water is essential to keep us alive, but it does so much more than we realize.  It’s responsible for regulating our body temperature by distributing heat evenly.  So, when you’re dehydrated, your body may struggle with this, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, and dizziness.  It’s a good practice to reach for the water if you feel a headache coming on as it may help alleviate symptoms quicker.

Water also helps transport nutrients and oxygen to your cells, supports digestion, and improves the health and look of your skin.  Did you also know that it lubricates your joints?  These are just some of the reasons why water is important, and adding fruit is a simple way to make your water more enjoyable and nutritious.

Not only does it make the water beautiful, but it provides even more nutrients to your body.  This aids in digestion and can improve gut health.  It may also help you cut back on sugary or high-calorie drinks.  If you find it difficult to drink enough water throughout the day, adding fruit to your water can make it more enjoyable and increase your overall water intake.
