Importance of staying hydrated
The importance of staying hydrated is pretty simple, your body depends on water for survival. Water makes up more than half of your body weight! Pretty crazy, right? Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to function correctly and to keep you in good health. As the hot, summer months approach make sure you’re ready to stay even more hydrated then ever!

You lose water every day when you go to the bathroom, sweat and even when you breathe! You must replace the water you lose or you’ll become dehydrated.
How to tell if you’re dehydrated:
- little or no urine, or urine that is darker than usual
- a dry mouth
- extreme thirst
- feeling dizzy or lightheaded
