Summer's here, and with it comes scorching temperatures and the risk of becoming dehydrated faster than ever. Staying hydrated is crucial during this season, not just for feeling your best but also for maintaining your long term health.
Why Hydration is Essential in Summer
Our bodies are mostly water, and staying adequately hydrated is vital for various bodily functions. During summer, we lose fluids more readily through sweat, especially during physical activity or even simply spending time outdoors in the heat. All the parties, BBQs, and alcohol also don't help! This can lead to dehydration, which can manifest in several ways:
- Fatigue and sluggishness
- Headaches and dizziness
- Muscle cramps
- Difficulty concentrating
- Constipation
In severe cases, dehydration can even lead to heatstroke.
The Benefits of Alkanatur
So, how can you ensure you're properly hydrated throughout the season? While any water intake is beneficial, Alkanatur water offers some specific advantages:
- High pH Level: Alkanatur water boasts a naturally high pH level, which studies suggest contributes to better overall health and alkalinity in the body.
- Mineral Rich: Alkanatur water contains Magnesium, which is an essential mineral that helps maintain proper nerve and muscle function. Our filter add Magnesium back into the water at 18mg/L.
- Smooth Taste: Many people find that Alkanatur water has a refreshingly smooth taste, making it a more enjoyable way to stay hydrated compared to plain tap water (which is acidic and also full of nasty additives!)
Staying Hydrated This Summer
It's important to be prepared, so it's best to make a plan before any outdoor outing. Here are some tips to get you started:
- Carry a reusable water bottle: Having a reusable water bottle filled with Alkanatur water readily available is a simple yet effective way to ensure consistent hydration throughout the day. Our pitcher comes with a lightweight BPA free bottle.
- Infuse your water: Add a twist to your Alkanatur water by infusing it with fruits, vegetables, or herbs for a touch of natural flavor. Adding ice cubes with rose petals inside can be a nice touch for fancier events.
- Monitor your intake: While there's no one-size-fits-all recommendation, a good rule of thumb is to drink around eight glasses of water per day. You may need to adjust this based on your activity level and climate, and the other types of food and drinks that you are consuming.
By prioritizing hydration this summer, you can ensure you stay cool, refreshed, and energized throughout the season. Best of all? You'll feel healthier, and look fantastic - it's a win-win situation!
