Benefits of Staying Hydrated in the Summer Heat
Summer is here! It’s time to enjoy the nice weather with a trip to the beach, walk in the park or another one of your favorite outdoor activities. But with the sun’s rays beating down, it’s easy to become dehydrated. As our bodies are exposed to hot, humid climates, we tend to lose a lot of our bodily fluids through sweat. This loss of water can leave you feeling tired, cranky and unmotivated. To help you understand the importance of drinking water while spending time outdoors, here are some benefits to staying hydrated in the summer heat.
Regulates body temperature
Our bodies regulate temperature in three ways, sweat, exhaling and cold water consumption. When you exercise in hot weather, your body is like an oven working under even hotter conditions. Keeping cold water on hand containing electrolytes, like Absopure Plus Electrolyte Water, can help replenish fluid and mineral loss in your body. This way, instead of having your systems shut down, you can stay comfortable and cool this summer.
Prevents dry mouth
Experiencing dry mouth while spending time in the summer heat means you are thirsty! It can be frustrating to deal with, especially when your body is already overheating. Plus, long-term dry mouth can lead to cavities and bad breath, which no one wants. Staying properly hydrated keeps your mouth, lips and throat moist. These conditions are better for food consumption since our saliva contains water, and we require fluids to help break down food.
Helps joints and muscles function correctly
Muscle cramps can be a huge annoyance. One minute you’re running, and the next, you’re clutching your calf in pain. This discomfort is related to dehydration because your muscles and joints tense up without the right amount of fluids. Keeping a bottle of Absopure Purified Drinking Water on hand is a great way to combat muscle cramps because the more you drink, the better your muscles and joints respond to physical activity.
Results in healthier skin
Skin is the body’s largest organ. It contains a ton of water and acts as a barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. When your skin is exposed to the hot sun, it can dry out and lead to sunburn and skin damage. Staying hydrated helps move water throughout your body’s membranes, keeping your skin elastic and soft.
Provides mental clarity
Have you ever been outside on a hot day, and the next thing you know, you can’t focus? Just a two-percent drop in bodily fluids can cause issues with mood, concentration, headaches, memory, fatigue, anxiety and overall brain performance for people of all ages. Luckily, staying adequality hydrated can help with that, leading to clearer thoughts and better mental focus. Plus, drinking water increases blood and oxygen flow to the brain. So, next time you plan to spend time outdoors on a sunny day, try bringing along a bottle of Absopure Natural Spring Water – the colder, the better.
