With the heat of summer setting in, one essential element our body needs is water. The minerals and electrolytes found in water are key aspects to our health.
There are many other prominent effects that drinking water entails such as regulating the temperature of our body, helping break down food and carry nutrients throughout our body, as well as allowing our muscles to work to their full potential. If you are planning on exercising, consume water well in advance to allow the body time to hydrate. One consequence of not consuming enough water is dehydration. When our bodies are dehydrated this can cause fatigue and dry skin. Dehydration can become a serious issue which inevitably leads to heat strokes. To stray away from complications drink plenty of water and remain active this summer.
