Attention, sun worshippers! As the summer heat cranks up and the great outdoors beckons, staying hydrated is more important than ever. National Hydration Day on June 23, 2025, is a great reminder to keep those fluids flowing.
The Vital Role of Water
Water is the lifeblood of our bodies, making up roughly 60% of a man’s body weight and 50-55% of a woman’s. It’s the unsung hero behind digestion, circulation, temperature regulation, and the transportation of vital nutrients. Adults should be guzzling about 6-8 glasses of fluid daily. But when the weather gets hot, or you’re breaking a sweat, you’ll need to knock back more to avoid dehydration downers.
Top Tips for Staying Hydrated
- Drink Up Before and During Activity: Make it a habit to drink water before you hit the gym or go on an outdoor adventure. Don’t wait for thirst to strike. Keep sipping during your activity to replace the fluids you lose through sweat.
- Track Your Intake: Keep an eye on how much water you drink throughout the day. If you notice signs of dehydration like dark urine, dizziness, or fatigue, top-up your H20 as soon as possible.
- Choose Water: Water is the best choice for hydration. It provides essential hydration without the nasties found in other drinks.
- Want to jazz things up a little? Why not add natural flavours to your water using herbs, berries and veggies to keep things interesting? Think cucumber, lemon and lime, raspberries or apple. Fruit infusions are a fantastic way to gift your body more nutrients and flavour!
Why not treat yourself to a BIBO Water Filter this National Hydration Day?
