Beat the heat this summer with these easy tips for staying hydrated and keeping cool this summer.
Drink water first thing in the morning. It gets the day started on the right foot by replenishing the water you lost overnight and helps boost your metabolism.
Take a probiotic. Probiotics are essential to many body functions and help with water absorption.
Eat your fruits and veggies! Yes, to stay hydrated, you need to eat your veggies. Cherry tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, green cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, pineapple, and watermelon all have high water content. Boost your hydration by boosting the fruits and veggies in your diet.
Infuse your water with fruit and herbs. When water tastes better, you are more likely to drink it!
Carry a water bottle with you throughout the day. Having water on hand ups the likelihood that you’ll sip more during the day.
Drink coconut water. Electrolytes are super important and dehydration can cause an electrolyte imbalance. Coconut water is packed with electrolytes to help balance your body.
Track your water intake. Keeping track of how much water you drink will help you meet your daily quota and keep you hydrated. There are apps and bottles with special little marks so pick what option works best for you and start tracking.
Limit caffeine, alcohol, and sugar-filled drinks. They stimulate the bladder resulting in frequent urination and loss of water.
