The importance of winter hydration

Winter may not make you feel as thirsty as summer, but staying hydrated is just as important. Both cold air outside and warm air from indoor heating can dry out your skin and can cause dehydration.

• Drink water regularly: Keep a bottle of water with you and take sips throughout the day, even when you're not feeling thirsty. If you prefer warmer beverages, try non-caffeinated herbal tea.
• Eat water-rich foods: Foods like cucumbers, oranges, and soups help to maintain hydration levels.
• Avoid excessive caffeine: Caffeinated coffee and tea may dehydrate you if consumed in large amounts, so balance them with water.

Maintaining hydration during winter can keep your skin healthy, improve energy levels, and help prevent fatigue.
