From Skincare To Hangovers: All The Reasons You Should Be Drinking More Water
Rehydrates You Faster Than Water Alone
Getting enough water and keeping your body hydrated each day is up there as one of the most important things you can do for your health.
Not only can enjoying more of that sweet H2O help regulate your body temperature, deliver nutrients to cells, and improve your sleep – it can also improve cognition, boost your mood, and leave you with glowy, dewy skin.
Here are some of our fave ways to stay hydrated all day long.
Love the skin you’re in
You’ve heard that water is good for your skin, but has anyone ever explained why? Turns out that in addition to removing waste from our bodies, drinking plenty of water also helps our organs function well.
And what’s the largest organ of the body? Yep, your skin! By drinking at least eight glasses of water per day, you can help improve skin elasticity, combat dryness, and keep that sweet collagen coming.
It might be the easiest way we’ve ever heard to keep your skin looking radiant and healthy.
Leave the hangover in the bin where it belongs
OK, so dehydration won’t be the only cause of any future hangovers (RIP), but it can make some of the symptoms worse including fatigue, dry mouth, increased thirst, a pounding headache, and skin that looks like you’ve been left in the desert for a decade. To help reduce the chance of ending up in this sad state, try to drink a glass of water between drinks during the night.
If it’s too late for that – never fear, there are super effective ways to rehydrate the next morning. Oral rehydration solutions like Hydralyte help you feel better sooner because they rehydrate you faster than water on its own.
Hydralyte Effervescent Electrolyte Tablets are handy because they’re so easy to use. Just chuck two in a glass filled with 200ml of water and watch the fizzy goodness self-dissolve. Best of all? They come in a range of flavours that won’t leave you feeling even more queasy.
Boost your energy levels
Feeling tired? Same. But don’t worry – there’s an easy way out of those ‘meh’ moments. Drinking water and staying hydrated can give you more energy to stay alert at work, crush your next workout, or make it through that long family function next weekend.
Whenever you’re feeling sluggish, or haven’t drunk enough water, just grab yourself a Hydralyte electrolyte ice-block from the freezer. These bad boys will keep you ticking for longer and are a great remedy to those brutal summer days and warm nights. Hot tip: the Apple Blackcurrant flavour is our fave. Just like an icy pole but with the right balance of electrolytes to help you feel better.
Get focused, stay focused
Besides all the physical benefits of staying well hydrated, there’s also the mental side of things. When you’re dehydrated it can put a real downer on your day and lead to low moods and an inability to concentrate.
By drinking plenty of water and rehydrating with a Ready-To-Use Hydralyte Electrolyte Drink, you can boost mental capacity, power through your to-do list, and keep a smile on your dial while you’re at it.
You won’t need to mix it or stir it – just leave yours in the fridge and take it with you when you’re on the go. No effort required.
And if you prefer to travel light, our Electrolyte Powder 10s range is ideal for people on the go and come with the added convenience of a 200ml measuring cup — ensuring accuracy and optimised rehydration every time!
