Healthy Tip of the Quarter
Stay Hydrated!
​
As the seasons change, it can be easy to forget the importance of hydration. Drinking enough water is essential for maintaining overall health, especially as the weather cools down. Here are a few tips to help you stay hydrated:
​
Set a Goal: Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day, or adjust based on your activity level and individual needs.
Keep Water Accessible: Carry a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day to make it easier to sip regularly.
Add Flavor: If plain water isn’t appealing, try adding slices of fruit, such as lemon, cucumber, or berries, for a refreshing twist.
Monitor Your Intake: Pay attention to signs of dehydration, such as dry mouth, fatigue, or dark urine, and increase your intake if needed.
​
Remember, staying hydrated supports your energy levels, concentration, and overall well-being. Cheers to good health!
