At ACT we are all about saving water but that doesn’t mean you can be stingy when it comes to taking care of your body! Saving water in other areas such as showering and household chores allows us not to fear about having enough water for our bodies. Just like you keep oil in your car, it’s important to keep clean water in your body.
Water makes up nearly 60% of our body weight and is important for removing unwanted toxins, regulating body temperature, and moving oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Some people use the excuse that they dont like the taste of water. I might offer some simple suggestions such as trying out different water brands, maybe even some that have electrolytes? Or to be more eco-friendly you can invest in pitchers or bottles that filter your water for you.
Brita and Bobble are two of many companies that make products that are affordable and not too shabby looking.

You can also try drinking your water at a different temperature. I prefer mine refrigerated or on the rocks (hold the salt). Try drinking out of a straw, I know this helps me drink more!
Or if you simply insist that drinking water is far too difficult eat foods that are high in water content. Our friends over at Brita provided a schnazzy helpful list. My summer favorite is Watermelon!
To show you how much we care, we included an info-graphic that will help you catch the symptoms of dehydration before they become too strong, or hopefully help you better hydrate and avoid them all together.
Our Favorite tip to prevent dehydration is “Don’t exercise in a rubber suit!”
