How YOU Can Easily Stay Hydrated!

Posted on June 10, 2019February 10, 2020 by Kathryn Eyring

As we age, we may have a higher risk of dehydration because of a diminished sense of thirst. Just like hearing and vision, our sense of thirst may not be the same as it used to be.

Our bodies are typically 45 – 65% water, which means we need to consider water and other fluids a priority to our good health!

Here is an EASY way to STAY FULLY HYDRATED!

Take this list of hydrating foods to the market and enjoy eating them daily:

  • Red, orange, green bell peppers
  • Cucumbers
  • Grapes
  • Melons
  • Berries
  • Tomatoes
  • Leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, lettuce)
  • Citrus fruits
  • Cauliflower and broccoli
  • Celery

This summer, commit to eating more hydrating foods, fruits and veggies that contain up to 95% water.

Monitor your fluid intake and be aware of how much you’re drinking in order to keep a healthy electrolyte balance. Your body and brain will work better when fully hydrated.

Keep in mind 5 Symptoms of dehydration:

  1. Muscle cramps
  2. Sudden dizziness
  3. Sleepiness/fatigue
  4. Dry mouth or skin
  5. Urine is dark-colored

And if you’re not convinced that you need to eat hydrating foods AND increase your fluids, here are 9 great reasons to drink more fluids (including weight loss).

Share your thoughts below…

Are you conscious of how much fluid you’re drinking daily?

Have you ever experienced serious dehydration?
