How to stay well hydrated on a daily basis?

Hydrate well every day

We are educated on the benefits of a varied and balanced diet, yet very little in relation to hydration; what to drink, how often, in what situations and how to spot the first signs of dehydration?

In this article, you will discover the benefits that good hydration can have on a daily basis, and why water alone and low in minerals is not always enough to hydrate well, as well as some tips to learn to identify the first signs of dehydration and recognize when you are well hydrated!

Why is hydration so important and what are the benefits?
The body is made up of approximately 60% water. It is the first constituent of the human body!

Water essential to life

Water plays several roles in the body:

• Construction role: water is a constituent element of the human body. It is present in all cells, tissues and intra- and extracellular compartments.
• Chemical role: water is at the same time a solvent, a reaction medium, a reagent and a product of chemical reactions. It is also a product of oxidative metabolism.
• Transport role: water is the major constituent of blood. It carries nutrients to cells and helps remove waste from the body.
• Role in thermoregulation: water helps maintain the body at the right temperature, during exposure to extreme heat or extreme cold.
  The list of benefits linked to hydration is endless, because it is one of the keys to the proper functioning of our body!

- Reduces toxins in your body through improved cell turnover
- Better lubricated joints and optimized muscle function
- Ally of the flat stomach, because it promotes the feeling of satiety.

- Fresh breath! And yes, one of the signs that you are poorly hydrated is to have a dry and pasty mouth and therefore more likely to create unpleasant breath.
- Avoids headaches thanks to better oxygenation of cells.
- Thermoregulator! Our metabolism spends a lot of energy maintaining our vital organs at a temperature of 37°C and hydration is key in this process!

But how do you know if you are well hydrated?

There are quick and easy methods that allow you to assess your water status.

• Body weight
  Tracking weight changes is the most commonly used method of measuring changes in the body's hydration level over a short period of time. The evaluation should be done under standard conditions, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, after using the toilet.
• Urinary measurements
  Urine volume often reflects the volume of fluids absorbed more than the subject's hydration status. However, studying their color is a simple indicator to analyze: the lighter they are, the better the hydration.
