Did you know that it’s incredibly easy to get dehydrated in
the winter? There are two things that can further dehydrate your body in the
winter. Heating systems that keep your home warm can also dry out your body,
and the cold winter air outside drains your skin of moisture. Here are some
tips to keep yourself hydrated this winter:
Drink Water
One way to start your day off on the right foot is to drink
a full glass of water when you wake up. Your body loses hydration as you sleep,
so this is a great way to jump start your day. You can also carry a water
bottle around with you all day.
Avoid Caffeine
This is easier said than done, but a lot caffeine can
dehydrate your body. If you’re opting for more warm beverages, try alternating
between caffeinated and decaf. This will help you stay hydrated!
Bundle Up
When you’re outside, be sure to bundle up! Any exposed skin
will quickly become dry and lose moisture. Remember to wear gloves, a hat, a
scarf and cover your face.
Find Hydration in Your Food
Load up on fruits and vegetables! In addition to helping you
avoid the dreaded winter weight, it will help your body stay hydrated. Fruits
and vegetables are loaded with water, so make it a priority to keep them in
your diet this winter.
Stay warm!
