Wallet, keys, water bottle?
The importance of hydration is much more prevalent today than in past decades.
Many have a water bottle on hand just about everywhere they go.
Not drinking enough watercan cause fatigue, muscle aches, and exhaustion (viaHealthline).
Coffee, soda, and alcohol can all lower hydration levels.
“We have air-conditioned environments, water fountains, and fluids so easily accessed in most places.
As we age, we need to increase our water intake.
With each lap around the sun, be sure to fill that bottle up even more frequently than before.
Additionally, you’ll need to drink more water but this doesn’t mean water mixed with other ingredients.
However, this doesn’t account for exercise and high activity levels (viaU.S.
News and World Report).
Be sure to drink even more water on gym day, but don’t overdo it.
As it turns out, you’re free to drink too much water.
This is where sports drinks can come in.
These beverages can be great for hydration, so long as they don’t contain artificial flavors and dyes.
If you’re in your 30s, fill that water bottle multiple times per day.
If you’re an active thirty-something, don’t forget to reach for the electrolytes.
