Why Is It Important to Stay Hydrated?

Did you know that water is your best ally?

According to the ancient Greek etymology of the word hydrate, the prefix ????- means ‘’water’’. We can therefore conclude that when we talk about hydration, we are talking about drinking good-quality water in its pure state. It is misleading to believe that drinks such as coffee, tea, juice, store-bought flavoured waters and sparkling or mineral waters are good choices when it comes to hydrating.

Did you know that a lack of water is dangerous for your health?

A lack of water has a direct impact on our physical and mental health. To have a healthy body and mind, water intake is essential. Water helps maintain the volume of blood in the body, which allows our muscles and brain to receive enough oxygen to absorb the nutrients they need to function properly. If the brain lacks water, symptoms such as poor concentration, memory loss and extreme fatigue can be felt.

Our digestion is also directly linked to our water intake. When we are dehydrated, we have less saliva, so the food we eat is not broken down as well. In addition, water also carries waste and toxins out of the body through urine. Very dark, scant and strong-smelling urine throughout the day is inevitably a sign of a lack of water.

Did you know that drinking water helps your body? (yes, this is the last one ?)

Drinking water doesn't have to be a chore, and if it is, know that the feeling of well-being that follows will prove to you that you have more to gain than to lose. What's more, why not add a little touch of fun to your water: liquid chlorophyll, fresh herbs such as mint or basil, fruits like strawberries, melon or even stevia, a 100% natural sweetener, as sweet as you like and good for your health.

I have faith in you, you'll find your recipe ? and don't forget, the more you drink, the more your body asks for.
