While we all look forward to the end of a long, cold, wet winter and some sunshine, summer brings other problems, including dehydration when we do not drink enough water on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, when we are having fun around the pool, playing sports or hiking in nature, we often forget that keeping physically fit is not the only thing we have to worry about as far as our health goes.
Whether you are being physically active, working in an office or just sitting around at home trying to find some respite from the oppressing, debilitating heat, it is vital that you drink water on a regular basis in order to remain hydrated and stay healthy.
While keeping the air conditioner on may keep you cool, it will also dehydrate you and that can bring a whole new set of health problems to your doorstep. Even if you drink other fluids, it is vital that you drink water on a regular basis because although the body needs a balance of around 70% water to work optimally, it cannot store water.
You lose water throughout the day via perspiration, urination, and even just breathing, and this water needs to be replaced or your body will suck water from some areas to ensure that the vital organs can still work at optimal levels. This can also result in heart problems because when there is insufficient water in the body, your blood becomes thicker and therefore more difficult for your heart to pump it throughout your body.
The best way to ensure that you always have sufficient cold water to drink and cool you off is to invest in a water cooler that can dispense chilled, filtered water virtually 24/7/365. You can either choose a mains water cooler or a bottled water cooler, depending on how many people need to be serviced.
