Understanding Hydration

Why Hydration Matters

Water regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, transports nutrients, and removes waste. Even mild dehydration can affect physical and mental performance.

Signs of Dehydration

Thirst, dry mouth, dark urine, fatigue, headache, and dizziness are early signs. Don't wait until you're thirsty - maintain consistent intake throughout the day.

Hydrating Foods

About 20% of fluid comes from food. Water-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, soups, and dairy products contribute to your daily hydration needs.

Quality Matters

Choose water over sugary drinks when possible. Herbal teas and infused water count toward intake, while caffeine and alcohol have mild diuretic effects.
