The importance of keeping hydrated. Water is necessary for
daily functions. It helps you cool your body and keeps you healthy.
Unfortunately, 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, and in doing
this, are becoming unhealthier. There are seven main symptoms to watch
for: dark urine, dry mouth, fatigue, extreme thirst, headache, confusion, and
dizziness and feeling lightheaded. To prevent dehydration, you must drink
plenty of water. Physical exercise and hot weather will increase the
effects and speed of dehydration. When participating in physical
activity, or are going to be in hot weather, be sure to drink more water and
supplement with sports drinks before, during, and after the exposure. The
sports drink is essential to keep up nutrients and to keep your mind clear.
Do not drink caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea, sodas, and
energy drinks to hydrate yourself. These drinks promote dehydration by
draining the water out of your body. A dehydrated body is also more
susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. So, drink plenty, stay
healthy, and stay safe. |
