Video Summary of Hydration
Proper hydration is key for overall health and well-being. Water makes up more than 50% of our body weight and plays a vital role in many bodily processes, including circulation, digestion, nutrient absorption, wastewater removal, and a lot of cellular biochemical processes.
It's important to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink fluids before you get thirsty because once the thirst sensation is present, dehydration is already underway. The recommendation is to drink around 2 liters of water per day, especially for people in dry or hot environments, people who exercise, or people who perform heavy physical labor.
