The summer heat has already hit hard, which means now, more than ever, is a great time to prioritize staying hydrated! And if you thought hydration was only about quenching your thirst—think again! Considering our bodies are primarily made up of water, drinking enough fluids is essential for optimal health. Keep reading to learn more!
Dehydration—even mild dehydration—can quickly lead to fatigue and low energy. So if you’re spending a lot of time outside or engaging in physical activity, make sure you’re getting enough fluids to keep up!
Even mild dehydration, around 1-3% fluid loss, can decrease cognitive function and impair our ability to focus. Not to mention dehydration is often a common cause of headaches!
And of course, we need to stay hydrated to keep things moving. Low fluid consumption can cause constipation, which can lead to uncomfortable bloating and impact the body’s ability to eliminate toxins and waste.
The recommended amount of water to consume daily is about 3.7L for men and 2.7L for women. If that number sounds daunting, there’s good news—this also includes the foods and beverages you consume beyond water.
Of course, we love water, but if you’re looking for something with a little something extra, we’ve got you covered!
That’s right! Eating water-rich fruits and veggies contributes to your hydration status! Opt for naturally hydrating produce like cucumber, watermelon, citrus and celery. Try it at Impact: Grab our seasonal Poke Bowl for a refreshing summer meal!

Okay, this one might surprise you, but rest assured that your favourite coffee and tea beverages still contribute to your hydration status! While yes, caffeine does have diuretic properties, it isn’t enough to offset the amount of liquid you consume with it. That being said, it’s still important to be mindful of how much caffeine you’re consuming! Try It At Impact: Looking for a caffeine-free iced beverage you can feel good about?
