Plus, with new nationwide research revealing some surprising home truths about the nation’s hydration habits, a summer routine reset could be just what your body needs.
The research found:
Whilst 97% of us understand that being hydrated is important, a third of us (32%) admit that we can go a whole day without drinking any water at all.
35% of people feel dehydrated every single day
Half the nation is not drinking enough water daily, with 51% waiting until they feel thirsty to drink any water or take a hydration supplement
The impact of being dehydrated was underestimated - especially symptoms such as altered mood, irritability and increased stress hormones
“Staying properly hydrated is key to supporting your daily health and wellbeing. One thing our recent survey highlights is that while many people are aware of the need to stay hydrated, they do not fully understand the impact dehydration can have on both your physical and cognitive capabilities. These negative effects can emerge quite quickly, as you only need to reach 1-2% dehydration (which equates to around a pint of water) before you start to feel tired, irritable and your heart, digestive system and other organs begin to function less effectively.”
With hydration being such a simple way to boost your daily health, Dr. Anastasiades shares his top tips on how to prevent dehydration.
1. When you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated - Over half of us wait to feel thirsty to hydrate, by which point we are already dehydrated. It is much better to drink small amounts regularly to prevent dehydration than wait to refill once the symptoms emerge.
2. Electrolytes can help support hydration - Proper hydration requires both water and electrolytes. They aren’t just for replacing sweat, electrolytes assist your body to absorb and retain water. They also contribute to nerve and muscle function and energy metabolism, helping you think clearer, feel more awake, and perform at your best, whether in the gym, at work, or traveling.
3. Create a daily ritual that works for you - The research reveals that a massive 70% of us wish we were drinking more water yet a third of us can go an entire day without drinking any water at all, so think about setting a daily hydration routine that works for you. Whether that’s regular water breaks throughout the day, bringing your own water bottle to work or taking a morning hydration supplement at breakfast.
4. Hydrate faster and smarter - With drinking enough water a clear challenge for many, consider a hydration supplement. For example, Phizz is a hypotonic drink that helps hydrate 3x faster than water alone, plus our 3-in-1 formula features 7 key electrolytes and 18 essential vitamins making it an all-in-one solution for everyday life.
5. Make it enjoyable - If hydration is going to be part of your daily routine, we know that flavour really matters and it has to taste good. It’s something electrolyte products often struggle with, which is why we’ve invested heavily in getting it right. In fact we have six flavours to choose from, offering something for everyone from the best-selling Orange and Mixed Berry to the perfectly partnered Blackberry & Apple, tropical Mango and newest addition Lemon.
