Discover the secrets behind good hydration.

We've all heard the recommendation to "drink more water," but why is it so crucial for our health?

1.Water is a source of life and health.

Water is a nutrient that, like oxygen, is vital for our survival.

💧 It makes up 60-80% of your body.

🌡️ Regulate your body temperature.

🍽️ It facilitates your digestion.

👋 Eliminates toxins.

Its health and wellness benefits vary greatly depending on the quality, quantity and time at which we consume it.

2.Impact of hydration on cognitive abilities.

Do you feel tired, unfocused or distracted for no apparent reason?

• Mild dehydration can affect our cognitive performance , reducing our ability to concentrate and remember.(1)
• Your brain may just be asking you to hydrate it 🫗
• And our brain is made up of 70% water and is like a bath sponge . It 🫗passes into the 🧠 absorbing like a🧽.

Dehydration causes a reduction in blood volume, which forces the heart to work harder to pump blood and deliver oxygen and nutrients to our muscles and organs, including our minds.

3. How much should we drink and when is the best time?

A general guide is to consume at least 2 liters (eight glasses) of water a day for the average adult.

🚰It is important not to wait until you are thirsty to drink , as this is a late sign of dehydration.

• In the morning : Start your day with the equivalent of two glasses of water (half a liter) to activate your body and counteract the dehydration produced during the night.
• Before Meals : Drink a glass to improve digestion and avoid overeating.
• During Exercise : Keep water on hand to compensate for fluid loss.
• Before Bed : A small glass of water helps replenish fluids lost during the day, but avoid drinking too much to avoid disrupting your sleep.

✅Do you want to optimize your hydration?

Drinking 2L of water in the first 10 hours of the day prevents dehydration.

Why the first 10 hours?

-The body's internal clock (circadian rhythms) tightly regulates kidney and intestinal cells.

-During the first 10 hours after waking up, the kidney works efficiently to filter fluids and then it slows down (so if you drink a lot of water in the afternoon/evening you will most likely wake up more often to go to the bathroom).

⚠️🛌 If you often wake up to go to the bathroom , try these tricks:

• Drink enough water throughout the day.
• Reduce fluid intake at night and two hours before bedtime.
• If you need to drink at night, sip water slowly ; the rate of fluid intake influences the need to urinate, as does the volume consumed, of course.

4. What happens if we do not hydrate well?

😨Chronic dehydration can have serious long-term consequences .

Among them are:

- Constant fatigue .

-Headaches.

-Digestive problems.

-Dry skin.

- Increased risk of urinary tract infections and kidney stones .

-Worse mood , causing irritability and lack of mental clarity.

5.The benefits of staying properly hydrated.

1. More vitality and better physical performance: staying well hydrated ensures good blood flow and adequate body temperature, which translates into more energy and better physical performance.
2. Improved cognitive function: Your brain works better when it is well hydrated, making learning, concentration and decision-making easier.
3. Healthy digestion: Water is essential for the digestive process, helping to prevent constipation and facilitating the absorption of nutrients.
