Dehydration definitely isn’t a joke. Water helps with every single system in our bodies, from our skin to our bones. Chronic dehydrated leads to digestive, skin, bladder and kidney problems, as well as fatigue, and that’s really just the beginning!
Did you know that when you feel thirst, it’s not a sign that you need a sip of water, but it’s a sign that you’re already badly dehydrated. I typically drink about a gallon and a half of water a day (as a 195 pound man; I think the rule of thumb is at least an ounce for every 2 pounds of body weight) but the trick is not to slam it all at once, but to sip all day.
Drinking a couple glasses of water after you wake up is a great idea, especially if you’re not a morning person. It will boost your blood pressure to normal levels and help get your daily hydration kick-started.
And remember, it&...
