As the weather is warming up, we need to work harder to stay hydrated. Please remind your student to carry water or another appropriate form of hydration to school.

Drinking water helps maintain the balance of body fluid. The functions of bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients and maintenance of body temperature.

During the winter, water vapor escapes from our bodies through our breath. You can see it escaping when you are outside in the freezing cold air. Just because you don’t sweat as much during the summer does not mean your body is not losing water.

Water helps keep your skin looking good. Your skin contains plenty of water and functions as a protective barrier. Dry skin is more susceptible to damage and breakdown. Drinking more water helps our bodies push impurities and waste through our bodies in order to keep us healthy and energized.

Water helps energize muscles. Cells that don’t maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes can result in muscle fatigue. When muscle cells don’t have adequate fluids, they don’t work as well.

Water can help in digestion and aid our bodies to properly process the food we eat. Foods with higher water content are absorbed more slowly by the body and help you feel full. Water rich foods include fruits, vegetables, broth based soups, oatmeal and beans.

Updated stories are available in The Veritas.
