Dehydration: You are Probably Already There
We have all experienced the state of feeling stressed, tired, anxious, and overall, drained. When that 2pm slump at work hits, no matter how hard we try, we are working on overload and our memory is fighting our body to just give up for the rest of the day. Much of this can be attributed to dehydration. As a matter of fact, 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. How can this be when our body is made up of 60% water? When it comes to hydration, it can quickly become more complicated than we realize based on several factors. The standard 8 glasses of water a day doesn’t equally apply to everyone and not all 'liquids' correlate to hydration. Luckily, our bodies communicate with us as we need nourishment and it is crucial to listen, especially when it comes to signs of dehydration.
