And, it doesn't work for everyone!

PROPER HYDRATION METHODOLOGY:

RECOMMENDATION: As always, consult with your medical team, regarding the treatment, actions to be taking for HYDRATION & DEHYDRATION!

Plus, really important point: It's just as possible, to "over HYDRATE" yourself, as to "over water" a house plant!

If, you've ever "over watered" a house plant then, you know what to expect, what can happen? Your house plant can get "root rot" which can destroy it!

Stating it simply, we can over do it, "over water" our body's, too!

We could be, unknowingly, washing out vitamins, essential oils & minerals, throwing off the body's natural balance, jeopardizing our health!

We should really find what works best, for ourselves, our children, pets, vegetation & be vigilant about staying properly HYDRATED, for overall good health!

*

Splash-Tip: Keep in mind certain, liquids like your morning hot coffee, soft drinks, some juice drinks your evening cocktail will DEHYDRATE you!

May need to avoid certain "salty snacks!"

Interestingly, certain foods, i. e., watermelon is a natural diuretic! You should HYDRATE while eating watermelon, most probably!

*


Most medications, vitamins & herbal supplements require a specific amount of water, to work, absorb properly, into the system; Please read all labels!

Reminder: All "sport's & Juice drinks" are NOT created equal; Read the label, carefully!

*

There's an old saying "If you are thirsty, you are already DEHYDRATED!"

So, to be sure, drink-up, before your mouth is "spittin' cotton!"!

And, monitor yourself every time, throughout the day, to know, for sure, if you are properly HYDRATED!

Let's do embrace good health this Spring, by staying HYDRATED!


Seize the Day!
