Staying hydrated is always important, but it’s even more so in the summer when the weather is hot and humid. Our bodies use water to regulate our body temperature and sweating is one of the ways it does so in the summer. Other benefits include increasing energy, improving heart health, decreasing headaches, and supplementing the body’s natural detoxification system. Be sure to drink water throughout the day even if you aren’t thirsty, a good initial goal is to drink roughly 8 glasses each day.
