[Longevity Insider HQ logo] Are You Secretly Suffering From Dehydration? - Part 2 Anil Bajnath, MD | March 31, 2022 | Baltimore, MD Dear Longevity Insider, Many Americans suffer from dehydration every single day. How do we fix that? Staying hydrated at a cellular level does take much more than water. In order to properly hydrate the cells, a combination of water, electrolytes, and minerals are needed. Electrolytes – such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium – help to regulate the body's fluid levels and are essential for proper cell function. Minerals – such as calcium and phosphorus – are needed for strong bones and teeth. Proper cell function means that the cells can properly do their job, which is to remove waste products and toxins from the body, deliver nutrients to where they are needed, and produce energy. To stay properly hydrated, I recommend trying to incorporate water-dense fruits and vegetables. In doing so, you can increase your water intake while also getting the added benefits of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Adding a pinch of high-quality sea salt to your water can also help to replenish electrolytes. We're just scratching the surface. Today, I'll explain to you the benefits of hydration and how to optimize it. Benefits of Staying Hydrated Proper hydration is essential for our optimal health and wellness. Benefits of staying hydrated include: - Improved Mood and Energy Levels. When the body is properly hydrated, the brain functions more efficiently and mood and energy levels are improved. - Better Cognitive Function. Dehydration can lead to poor focus, difficulty concentrating, and decreased cognitive function. - Increased Physical Performance. Dehydration can cause fatigue, muscle cramps, and decreased coordination. Staying properly hydrated can help to prevent these effects and improve physical performance. - Improved Kidney Function. The kidneys rely on water to filter waste products from the blood. When the body is properly hydrated, the kidneys are able to function more efficiently. - Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases. Proper hydration is essential for the proper function of all systems in the body. Dehydration can lead to chronic problems such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and kidney stones. - Improved Skin Health. Dehydration can cause the skin to become dry, wrinkled, and dull. Proper hydration helps to keep the skin looking plump and youthful. - Improved Joint Health. Dehydration can cause the joints to become dry and inflamed. Proper hydration helps to keep the joints lubricated and reduces inflammation. - Improved Digestion. Dehydration can cause constipation and other digestive problems. Proper hydration helps to keep the digestive system moving smoothly. 6 Tips For Optimal Hydration - Drink water first thing in the morning. Drinking water first thing in the morning helps to rehydrate your body after a long night of sleep. The first thing you put into your body sets the tone for the rest of the day, so make sure to start your day off with a tall glass of water. - Invest in a good cup. Investing in a good-quality water bottle or cup can help to make drinking water more enjoyable. If you have a cup that you really like, you're more likely to drink from it throughout the day. - Use an app to track your water intake. There are lots of great apps out there that can help you to track your water intake. By tracking your water intake, you can ensure that you're drinking enough throughout the day. Some apps have features like reminders to drink water, which can be really helpful. - Substitute soda or juices with sparkling water. If you're looking for a way to add some flavor to your water without all the sugar, try adding some sparkling water. You can find sparkling water in a variety of flavors, or you can even make your own by adding fruit slices or mint leaves to plain carbonated water. I personally enjoy adding fresh oranges or limes to my sparkling water. - Install a good filter. Installing a good water filter can help to ensure that you're drinking clean, pure water. This is especially important if you live in an area with poor water quality. A good water filter will remove impurities from your water, making it taste better and be better for your health. - Eat water-rich foods. Including water-rich foods in your diet is a great way to stay hydrated. Some water-rich foods include fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, and strawberries. Including these foods in your diet will help you to reach your daily water intake goals. Conclusion Drinking plenty of water is essential for our health and well-being. By staying properly hydrated, we can improve our mood, energy levels, cognitive function, physical performance, kidney function, skin health, joint health.
