The Importance of Hydration for Your Health
Water is essential to life, but do you really know how much to drink and how to hydrate properly?
Why hydration is crucial
Our body is about 60% water. Even mild dehydration (1-2%) can affect concentration, mood and physical performance. Drinking enough is the foundation of good health, well before any diet.
How much should you drink?
The classic 2-liter-per-day recommendation is a good benchmark, but needs vary with physical activity, temperature and diet. Water-rich fruits and vegetables also contribute to hydration.
The best hydrating drinks
Water remains the best option, but other drinks contribute to hydration:
- Coconut water: rich in natural electrolytes
- Herbal teas: caffeine-free hydration
- Cold-pressed juices: hydration + vitamins
- Kombucha: hydration + probiotics
- Smoothies: hydration + fiber and nutrients
