It is vitally important to ensure that you remain fully hydrated for your overall health. Without sufficient water the body will get hydrated which could lead to severe health problems. Dehydration can lead to headaches, dizziness, nausea, rapid pulse, heart problems, and medical conditions, such as kidney stones or bladder infection.
The Best Way to Stay Hydrated
Do not rely on only drinking plain water to stay fully hydrated, although drinking water is the best and healthiest way to remain hydrated. You can also replace a lot of lost body fluids through eating foods that have high water content such as watermelon, lettuce, and tomatoes.
If you are exercising at high intensity for more than an hour at a time then you do not only need to replace the water that you could have lost via sweating but you also need to replace lost electrolytes. The best way to do this is to drink a sports drink that also contains carbohydrates, as this will prevent low blood sugar.
It is important that you drink water throughout the day even if you are not exercising, as you also lose body fluids via breathing, urination and other ways. Keeping a bottle of drinking water handy on your desk is a good way to ensure that you drink often.
Another way to ensure that you drink water regularly and stay hydrated is to get a water cooler. There are various types of water coolers, including bottled water coolers and mains or plumbed-in water coolers. There are also various models, including under-counter models for sports bars, restaurants etcetera, counter-top models for homes and very small offices, and larger models that will supply fresh, chilled drinking water virtually 24/7.
Bottled water coolers are great for smaller offices, as long as there is enough storage space for the empty bottles and the full ones that are waiting to be used. Plumbed-in or point-of-use (POU) water coolers are plumbed directly into the main water line so there is no need to order and store bottles of water for the water cooler.
Some water companies fill the bottles for their bottled water coolers with natural spring water; some water coolers are fitted with water filters that filter out all the toxins, dispensing sweet, pure chilled water at the touch of a button. Some models offer cold, ambient and hot water options which means that you do not have to drink only chilled water in the cold winter months but can also make soup, tea, coffee or hot chocolate from the same source.
