Healthy Hydration

Up to 60 percent of the adult human body is water. Every bodily function relies on hydration. Fiber needs water to work through digestion. It’s no understatement to say drinking water is key to survival.

It’s easy to forget to drink enough water when you’re busy. By the time you feel thirsty, you may already be mildly dehydrated. Here are some tips to help stay hydrated:

•Drink primarily water. Soda, juice, and some sports drinks are high in added sugar. Infuse fruits and veggies in your water for a delicious flavor boost.

•Aim for at least eight full glasses of water each day. Drink more if you are exercising heavily or spending time outdoors.

•Carry around a reusable water bottle to • always have H2O handy. Eat hydrating fruits and veggies—apples, grapes, melons, cucumbers, and lettuce—they are full of nutrients and water.
