Summer is at its pinnacle in these months. And we are the birds of a feather that flock together. Meaning, at some point or the other, we have all felt out of energy and dehydrated during summer. That is because it is very easy to lose water from the body in the sweltering heat. Thus, retaining the water lost by the body becomes essential to stay healthy and fresh.

Why Should You Stay Hydrated?

Drinking enough water and staying hydrated is essential for physical well-being. Proper hydration ensures body temperature balance. Water helps remove wastes from the body and ensures the proper functioning of all the organs. It is like oil to machines.

How does it matter for your inner well-being? Well, hydration improves your cognition, enhances mood, and helps you sleep better. So the next time, you feel irritated, or cannot get sleep, drink a glass of water.

Read on to find out how you can stay hydrated during summers and feel great at all times.

1. Drink Water

It is no secret that drinking more water does half of the work of staying hydrated. But, how do you remember to drink water at regular intervals? Download an app or a reminder on your smartwatch that notifies you to get up and drink a glass of water every hour. There are blinking water bottles available now. They start blinking when you haven’t moved your bottle for some time. Imagine that being a reason to drink water.

2. Eat More and Eat Well

Eating is as important as drinking water to stay hydrated. The key is to eat healthy and water-rich foods. Watermelon, strawberries, grapes, peaches, cucumbers, stone fruits, are some of the best options to try.

3. Rely on Cold Tea

Iced tea, any sort of flavored tea, herbal tea, or chamomile tea are good options to try out this summer.

4. Fresh Juices and Coconut Water

When it comes to enjoying fruit juices, it’s always better to have them fresh. Canned juices contain preservatives. So have a fruit blast with fresh juice or plain coconut water, here and there, and feel refreshed from within.
