Stay Hydrated – Drink Water

To the Hybrid Boomer – your support is appreciated.

To stay hydrated – drink water! While performing daily work tasks, keeping a bottle of water within reach is a necessary reminder to drink enough water.

Friends and family will tease about what is often assumed an expensive bottle of Fuji water sitting on my desk.  For just a few pennies more than the cheaper brands, the premium water really tastes better! 

Drinking enough water is a big deal, especially for people who drink sodas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but very little water!

Just how much water a person needs to keep their body functioning at its best has always been a debate. Try to drink at least half the body weight in ounces.  How much that equates to depends on your body weight.  At 150lbs, 75oz’s of water per day is needed.  That equals to 9.375 cups (75 divided by 8, since 8oz is 1 cup).

Working out regularly before retreating home to avoid catching a case of COVID-19 that recommendation came from a trainer/nutritionist at the local gym. 

But according to the Mayo Clinic, men need 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day, and women need 11.5 cups (2.7 liters of fluids a day.  A portion of the fluids, 20%,  can come from food and the other in beverages.

Good Reasons To Drink Water

Here are a few reasons that the best beverage is water – it increases energy & relieves fatigue, promotes weight loss, flushes out toxins, improves skin complexion, maintains regularity, normalizes blood pressure, prevents constipation, flushes bacteria from your bladder, regulates body temperature, and carry’s nutrients and oxygen to your cells. 

Water helps the kidneys and liver not have to work so hard to keep your body functioning at its best.

As a Hybrid Boomer mainly working from home, it can be a challenge to remember to drink water. To help with tracking daily consumption, purchase a 1-gallon container.  Re-fill it before going to bed at night and grab it first thing in the morning.

Start sipping at 7 or 8am.  Take gulps after meals to wash down your food, during breaks for quick energy boost, after bathroom breaks (how many is another story) and after an afternoon or evening walk.

If running out for an errand take the bottle with you.  By 8 or 9pm the water will be gone!  Having the container helps to measure your intake and it is a reminder to stay hydrated – drink water.
