We recently came back from the Hershey Park in Pennsylvania and this has officially become my longest trip with three kids. We drove from Chicago to Hershey, PA for most of the day and a spent a few days at the Hershey Park – a place of endless fun and overpriced food. Spend a hot summer day at the place like this and you will be spending lots of money on fast food and sugary beverages. What’s wrong with this picture?It-is-so-easy-to-get-it-wrong

3 Summer Hydration Mistakes

  1. Cool Off with an Ice Cream. As tempting as it sounds ice cream in summer won’t give you much of relief on a hot summer day. It won’t hydrate you much yet give your body lots of fat and sugar, which in return make you sweat even more.
  2. Non-Water beverages (caffeinated, sweetened and alcoholic drinks) would actually set you back as they require significant amounts of fluid to properly process and filter. Sugar and coffee also create an acidic environment in the body and make the kidneys work hard to get rid of excess acid out of the body
  3. When we’re thirsty – we drink, or when we’re exercising we drink, but you don’t have to just answer to your body’s call to stay hydrated. Even if you’re on the couch or at your desk it’s still important to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated keeps us alert, so if you’re at work it’s a good practice to stay hydrated as it can keep you awake, energized and going throughout the day.

Dreams-Resort-DrinkingThe easiest way to avoid dehydration is to always care a bottle of water with you and the simplest way to never be out of water is to use a bottle with a built-in filtration system. MAVEA MicroDisc Filtration System help customers rethink their water by offering a more convenient and cost-effective option for great-tasting water, no matter where they want it. Elegantly designed MAVEA® Water Filter products deliver great taste and maximum convenience. The MicroDisc Filtration System from MAVEA features a water filter smaller than a drink coaster that can provide 50 percent more filtered water than the leading brand. The MicroDisc filter is the first to be interchangeable among products, with the same filter used in MAVEA’s stylish Pitcher, sleek Carafe and convenient Water Bottle.

5 HYDRATION TIPS

Start the day with a glass of water (no ice). Make it your first drink of the day (before coffee, tea or juice). A glass of water will help to replace fluids lost overnight and get you up to a good start for the day. Keep a bottle with water with you and refill it daily.

Two or three servings of fruits and vegetables at every meal. They are full of water and minerals that help your body absorb and use it properly. Remember that many processed foods lower the body’s water table and eating a lot of meat puts pressure on your kidneys and increases your body’s need for water.

Take scheduled water breaks. Plus take an extra glass of water if you worked out. Sugar in sodas and juices can trigger blood-sugar spikes, so stick to water, low-sodium vegetable juices, and sparkling water.Baby-Drinks

Use water filters like MAVEA in your home, office and on the go. Bottled water in impractical, not environmentally friendly, and has an expiration date. MAVEA filtration products come in a variety of shape and sizes – a water bottle, a pitcher, and a Carafe.

Cook with high-quality sea salt. An unrefined sea salt is full of minerals, which are key to cell health and hydration.Holding-Water-Bottle

Look for MAVEA products on Amazon, Target.com, and Bed Bath and Beyond.com and learn more about these products at www.re-thinkyourwater.com.

    Keeping hydrated is so important. I try to drink as much water as I can. I am liking the MAVEA water bottle. Great for when I go to the gym.

    Yes yes yes, ive found I drink way more when I carry it! And good to know that non water liquids actually take water to filter in your body! That’s crazy. Good article

    I find the more water you drink the better I feel. There are days I am extremely good at it and days that I suck at it too. This is a good reminder to drink more.

    It is amazing how much of a difference water can make to your body!!! I always try to carry water around with me and keep extras in my car as well.

    I have filtered water in the fridge and water pitchers with filters too. It makes it taste a heck of a lot better so it’s easier to drink.

    I love the sea salt tip! And as a coffee drinker I’m all about the hydrate-hydrate-hydrate mantra! Loved your tips and I’m off to fuel up now!

    These are great tips. I often forget to drink enough water while at work. Taking water breaks would be a great idea for me. Thanks for the tips!

    We are always drinking water in my house, during the summer months more than ever. Sure we have juice and coffee, sometimes (but rarely) even soda, but it is really important to be drinking plain old water. We agree with you! 🙂

    I stink at drinking water …… I need to be better! Thanks for these tips, I will put them to good use!

    i drink water all of the time. i think its because my mom used to make me and my brother drink it as kids and it just stuck with us.

    Fantastic ideas for keeping hydrated!

    I’ve been eyeing these bottles for a while now. While we always carry a bottle of water with us almost every time we leave our house, we somehow still end up needing to get soda, juice, or bottled water when ours run out. A filtered water bottle will make a whole lot of difference!
