Water is life—literally. Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body depends on it. Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, lubricates joints, transports nutrients, supports digestion, improves energy, and even boosts brain performance.
Fun Facts About Hydration:
-
The human body is made up of approximately 60% water.
-
Even mild dehydration (just 1-2%) can impact mood, memory, and concentration.
-
Thirst is actually a late signal—by the time you're thirsty, you're already slightly dehydrated.
Making hydration a daily habit isn’t just about drinking more water—it’s about setting your body up for success in every area of wellness.
Why It’s Hard to Stay Hydrated
Even though it's simple in theory, hydration is one of the most overlooked wellness habits. Some typical challenges include:
-
Busy schedules that make it easy to forget to drink water
-
Not liking the taste of plain water
-
Mistaking hunger or fatigue for dehydration
-
Increased fluid needs with exercise, heat, or caffeine consumption
Hydration can feel like a passive goal—but it requires active planning. Building the habit means finding enjoyable, easy ways to stay consistent.
Tips to Build the Habit (and keeping it for 21 days so it sticks)
-
Start your day with a glass of water. Make it part of your morning routine.
-
Flavour up your water. Add lemon, cucumber, or berries—or use a natural electrolyte mix.
-
Carry a reusable water bottle: Keep it with you at all times as a visual reminder.
-
Track your hydration intake: Use a hydration app or set reminders on your phone.
-
Pair hydration with zctivities: Drink before every meal, during breaks, or after a workout.
