Staying hydrating is one of the most well known yet neglected Health tips, many people overlook it simply because it’s so simple, it’s not glamorous or sexy, just solid advice backed up by irrefutable research. People will willingly spend hundreds of pounds on miracle cures, supplements, vitamins, face packs and organic food unaware that an adequate water intake would do so much more for their health!

 Water is vital to every bodily function, so much so that the average person can only survive approximately two days without it. While many people have lots of drinks throughout the day, they are often the wrong kind, anything that contains alcohol or caffeine is sure to do more harm than good from a hydration perspective.

 Examples are any drink that contains caffeine, caffeine is a diuretic when means it actually flushes fluids from the body rather than replenishing them. In fact, strong coffee can contain so much caffeine that it can negate the hydrating effects of the water it is dissolved in.

 A lack of hydration can cause all sorts of problems, long and short term. It can make the eyes more sensitive to light meaning you will need to wear ray ban sunglasses, or designer sunglasses for the fashion conscious amongst you even on a dull day. Being dehydrated can cause blurry vision in the short term and encourage more serious sight issues long term that may make it necessary to wear glasses.

 Skin problems can also be brought about by a lack of hydration, as mentioned people will happily spend hundreds of pounds on expensive moisturizers and go a whole day without water, this is totally counter productive. Keeping hydrated keeps the skin soft, supple and free of lines and wrinkles.

 Drinking more is such an easy addition to your life, it simply requires getting into a routine. You day to day activity levels determine your requirements for water but thinks like heavy exercise, high food intake and high ambient temperatures will increase the need.
