Hydrate to Feel Great

Why is hydration important?

Did you know that regularly drinking water supports healthy digestion, improves brain function, helps prevent headaches, and increases energy? Hydration is one of the foundations to staying healthy, but can often be forgotten about. It is important to keep yourself properly hydrated even before signs of dehydration begin to appear.

Since every body is unique, everyone needs a different amount of water per day. The amount of water you need is based on many factors including your sex, height, weight and activity level.
