Hydrating Foods

Every organ in our body requires water to properly operate. Our bodies use water to regulate temperature, remove waste and lubricate joints, among many other things. Most importantly, staying hydrated makes it easier for the heart to pump blood to the muscles and keep skin supple and healthy-looking. Keeping hydrated can also boost the metabolism, which can lead to weight loss.

 

Not staying hydrated can be the cause of minor conditions like headaches and swollen feet. But dehydration can lead to much more serious problems such as heat stroke and sufferers are more prone to fatigue and irritability.

Signs of dehydration include little or dark urine, headache or extreme thirst.
