Can we all agree that bloating and constipation are NOT FUN? 😖
This is where water becomes your best friend 💦💙. It helps prevent both bloating and constipation! Because dehydration causes bloating due to electrolyte imbalances, staying hydrated helps prevent bloat.
Did you know that we lose water not just through sweat, but also by breathing and digesting? We need to keep replacing that water to keep our GI tract running smoothly. Both water and electrolytes are necessary for optimal digestion and motility.
REFRESHING WAYS TO BOOST YOUR WATER INTAKE:
🍉 Eat hydrating foods like water-rich fruits, veggies, and soups. Around 20% of our daily fluid intake comes from food!
📱 Set friendly reminders on your phone.
🚰 Bring a reusable bottle of water everywhere you go. Easy access is your secret weapon!
🍋 Motivate yourself by adding flavors like fresh citrus fruit, mint, or cucumbers to your water. You can also add flavor AND hydrating electrolytes with Hydrate Performance® Low-Calorie Electrolyte Drink .
We love Hydrate because we just mix it into water and it gives us electrolytes and flavor without all the excess sugar, calories, and artificial ingredients in many hydration beverages. Plus, it's been shown to hydrate better than plain water!
So, let's aim to drink enough water to never feel thirsty. And let's watch our alcohol and caffeine intake, as both are dehydrating.
➡️ Have you been hitting your water intake goals? What do you keep your drink in?
If you have a cute water bottle, post it below!
Here is mine: Plastics are dangerous as they leak toxins, so shoot for BPA free. Since I love drinking out of a water bottle, but don't want the toxins, I found this cute little water bottle on Amazon that opens for ice and feels like I'm drinking out of the store bought water bottle: Link here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ISR0ZB6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
