Oh how we all long for and then celebrate the sunshine that summer brings after a long cold, wet winter. We all look forward to those scorching hot days on the beach or lazing around the pool, the barbecues and those long balmy summer evenings drinking cocktails with good friends.
Unfortunately though, it does not take too long before we find the heat completely debilitating, especially if we are stuck in an office all day. Working in an air conditioned office may help a bit, but even that is not the healthiest as, while it may keep you a bit cooler, air conditioning does nothing for your dehydration.
The human body consists of around 70% water, and it is important that one maintains that balance as when it dips, it means that you are becoming dehydrated. Even an insignificant drop of around 2% in your bodily fluids can lead to thirst, dizziness and further complications. If you do not drink sufficient water at this stage your dehydration can progress to the stage where your skin becomes dry, your muscles do not work, your kidneys stop working, your blood thickens and puts strain on your heart, and much more.
One of the reasons that many individuals get dehydrated in the summer especially is that they do not like drinking lukewarm tap water. Keeping a jug of chilled water in the fridge sounds like a good idea, but a jug of water does not go far in an office full of employees and you know there is always that one person who will not refill the jug when empty.
One of the best methods of ensuring that you remain well-hydrated in the hot summer months is by investing in a water cooler. A water cooler can seriously be your best friend in the summer as it can dispense loads of chilled, pure, fresh drinking water virtually non-stop.
Both office water coolers and home water coolers have become very popular over the last decade or so due to their positive impact on an individual’s health. Contact Living-Water today for a free quote for the perfect water cooler to suit your needs and budget.
