As you enjoy the warm weather, make sure you stay hydrated. Our bodies are mostly water, so proper hydration is a key part of taking care of your health. Every tissue in your body needs water to function properly. As you enjoy the warm weather, make sure you stay hydrated.

The Importance of Hydration

Staying hydrated helps you regulate your body temperature, carries nutrients to your cells, and helps flush bacteria from your system. It helps your heart more easily pump blood throughout your body. It helps your muscles function effectively. It can help you feel more energetic and alert, and it plays key roles in your heart, brain, and muscle function.

Tracking how much water you’re drinking is a great way to make sure you’re staying hydrated. An easy way to estimate how much water you should drink on a daily basis is to take your weight and divide it in two. That’s the number of ounces of water you should be drinking every day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you’ll want to drink about 75 ounces of water. Keep in mind that the water you use for your Yoli drinks counts toward your daily total!

Tips

Here are a few tips to stay hydrated!

• Drinking when you’re thirsty may sound like a no-brainer, but thirst is your body’s way of telling you that you need to drink more water. Make sure you’re listening to your body!
• Electrolytes play a big role in proper hydration. Our sports drink, Fun, contains a proprietary blend of electrolytes to help promote health hydration so you can feel your best.
• When you’re enjoying yourself outdoors, you may become dehydrated without realizing it. Whether you’re heading out for a hike, relaxing on a beach, or hanging in the backyard with your kids, make sure you pay attention to your thirst and keep water handy.
• Be especially vigilant about hydration when you work out, especially if you’re doing it in hot temperatures. You lose fluids as you sweat, and even mild dehydration can negatively impact both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. As you work out, make sure you drink water or Fun to promote healthy hydration levels!
