Are You Dehydrated? 5 Tips On How To Stay Hydrated / Healthy Hacks
hey what's up it's Vince Lea from Vince
Lea calm and today we're gonna be
talking about hydration
now why is hydration so important well
up to sixty percent of the adult human
body is made up of water including sixty
percent of your brain of your heart and
of your blood even your bones are made
up of twenty percent water so staying
hydrated helps keep all these organs and
body parts working at their optimum
level staying hydrated is just one of
the items I talk about in my free ebook
10 hacks eating healthier link for that
ebook is in the description box below
and one of the issues with hydration if
at the time you realize you need to
drink more water it may be too late I
know for me when I don't drink enough
water during the day I start to get a
headache and just not really feeling
well so what are some other signs that
you may be dehydrated well you may have
muscle cramping dry mouth dry skin or
your urine could be a dark yellow color
if you're properly hydrated your urine
will be a light yellow and if it's dark
that means you need to drink more water
now to avoid this we're gonna go over
five tips that you can do to make sure
you stay hydrated number one when you
need to grab a drink
grab a glass of water now I personally
tend to avoid any fruit juices or
caffeinated drinks because they have a
tendency to upset my stomach now if you
want to drink with electrolytes make
sure you read the label cuz a lot of
those drinks have added sugar in them
and another thing you can do is reach
for some fruits and veggies that are
high in water such as watermelon
strawberries and celery and spinach
number two have a glass of water first
thing when you get up now
this will help hydrate your body right
off the bat and also help you break that
fast that you had while you slept
now while you sleep your body actually
becomes dehydrated so drink a glass of
water not only gets you hydrated it can
also help increase your metabolism as
well as flush out any toxins that may
have built up in your digestive system
during the night number three use the 8
by 8 rule as a guide now the 8 by 8 rule
simply states that you should drink
eight 8-ounce glasses of water for a day
now there's no set rule as to how much
water each individual person should
drink there's a lot of factors that go
into play whether how active you are or
the foods you're gonna be eating
like we mentioned earlier certain foods
are higher and water content than others
and some processed foods like crackers
can actually absorb the water in your
system so make sure you know what you're
gonna be doing that day and plan
accordingly number four have a water
bottle close by when you leave the house
in the morning take a water bottle fill
it up so it's always next to eat now me
personally I use the 64 ounce water
bottle by hydro flask they do make
smaller sizes as well if you don't like
anything that big I'll leave a link in
the description box below so you can
check it out
the main takeaway is to have water next
to you so you can stay on track and make
sure you're drinking enough water during
the day number five there's an app for
that now if you don't want to carry
around a water bottle during the course
of the day there's apps like water minor
and agua alert that you could download
and will actually track the amount of
water you're drinking during the course
of the day and they'll actually send you
reminders to your phone drink water now
if you don't want to download an app you
can simply set up reminders in your
phone or your computer that will send
you messages reminding you to drink
water and stay on track so for more of
