Summer Hydration Tips

We love summer, but we want to make sure everyone stays hydrated during this extreme heatwave in West Des Moines IA! Remember to drink plenty of water. Here are some fun water facts to keep you motivated:

• Water makes up about 60% of the human body – it’s essential for almost every bodily function!
• Staying hydrated can improve your mood and energy levels – dehydration can lead to fatigue and irritability.
• Drinking water can help with weight management – sometimes our bodies mistake thirst for hunger.
• Water helps regulate your body temperature – especially important during these hot summer days.
• On average, you should aim to drink about 8 cups of water a day – but you might need more in this heat!
• Water keeps your skin looking healthy – staying hydrated helps maintain your skin’s elasticity.
• Drinking water can help prevent headaches – dehydration is a common cause of headaches.
• Water is a natural detoxifier – it helps flush out toxins from your body.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the summer safely!
