Holiday Hydration - Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Wellness 2024. Here is your tip for today.

Hydration isn’t just for summer! In winter, dry air, heated spaces, and festive drinks can dehydrate you without realizing it. Proper hydration supports energy, digestion, and overall wellness, especially during the busy holiday season.

Why It’s Important

  • Dehydration can leave you feeling tired, unfocused, and cranky.

  • Staying hydrated keeps your skin healthy in dry weather.

  • It also supports your immune system and prevents overeating, often confused with thirst.

3 Quick Tips to Implement

  1. Carry a water bottle wherever you go as a visual reminder to drink

  2. Drink at a temperature and flavor that works for you—hot, warm, or cold is fine, and flavor packets or drops can help.

  3. Incorporate hydrating foods like oranges, cucumbers, and soups into your meals and enjoy no-low-calorie beverages like coffee or tea.

Take Action Today: Aim for 64+ ounces of water and keep track of your intake to stay mindful!
