A recent NBC News<\/em> article, “What You Should Know About Drinking Water (but Probably Don’t)<\/a>“, notes that many Americans aren’t getting enough water. The article provides these research findings:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0<\/big>A study from the Harvard School of Public Health found more than half of all U.S. children and teenagers are not properly hydrated<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0<\/big>The National Hydration Council reports 1 in 10 consultations for tired and fatigue are due to dehydration<\/p>\n

How do you know when you need to increase your hydration?<\/h3>\n

There are certain situations\u2014pregnancy, exercise, illness, when it’s hot outside\u2014that call for increased hydration. But in general you should make it a point to drink a good amount of water daily. As noted in the NBC News article, here are a couple of signs you need to hydrate:<\/p>\n

1. You feel thirsty<\/strong> \u2013 Thirst is a symptom of dehydration. Once you start to feel thirsty, dehydration has already set in.<\/p>\n

2. You have bright or dark urine<\/strong> \u2013 Generally, when you are hydrated your urine will be a pale yellow color.<\/p>\n

For tips on how you can drink more water and stay better hydrated<\/strong>, read the full NBC News<\/em> article here<\/a>. You can also check out these resources:<\/p>\n

One final note<\/strong>: Many individuals limit their water intake due to concerns about water quality<\/a> in their home or place of work. If this is the case for you, you may want to consider investing in a Point-of-Use (PoU) or Point-of-Entry (PoE) water filter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
