It's easy to forget to carry a water bottle on a hot day outside, but skipping out on H2O can lead to significant health risks. National Hydration Day was created in honour of late football coach Victor Hawkins, who invented a special hydrating mouthguard to keep his players healthy on the field. SafeTGard, the company that now sells his invention, launched the holiday after Hawkins' passing to honour his legacy and to encourage others to stay hydrated. Whether you're a professional athlete, a casual exerciser, or someone who loves to spend time outside in the sun, drinking water is critical to avoiding heat stroke, dehydration, and other dangerous issues. Celebrating National Hydration Day is a great way to raise awareness!
NATIONAL HYDRATION DAY ACTIVITIES
Set reminders to hydrate regularly during the day.
Write out reminders on Post-it notes or type them into your phone. You can even download apps that remind you to drink a set amount of water each day. After following these reminders for a while, they'll likely become a habit that you'll practice without even thinking about it.
Tell everyone you know to stay hydrated.
Remind your loved ones that it's important to drink lots of water each day, especially when they're outdoors in the summer or are exercising. People often forget to prioritise hydration, but being prompted by a friend or family member who cares can stand as a great reminder.
Make some tasty infused water.
If you avoid drinking water because you find the taste a little bland, infuse a pitcher of water with mix-ins like lemon wedges, cucumber slices, strawberries, cantaloupe, mint, or other refreshing produce. Sometimes, simply having a tasty beverage on hand can make all the difference. You can even take things a step further by filling up grab-and-go bottles of infused water at the beginning of each week or filling up a special pitcher for your desk at work.
WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL HYDRATION DAY
It encourages healthy physical activity.
We all know how great exercise can be for our health, but working out while dehydrated is anything but healthy. Water provides your body with the power and fuel it needs to get you through a workout or a busy afternoon outside. When you're properly hydrated, you're able to exercise in a happy, healthy way—and that makes your mind and body happy.
It inspires people to make other positive choices.
When you're properly hydrated, you may find that you feel a lot better than you do when your body is short on water. (After all, dehydration can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and feelings of exhaustion.) Getting into the habit of drinking water more often can feel like a victory, and that may inspire you to build other healthy habits in your life. The sky's the limit!
It reminds us of how important our health is.
Heat stroke or dehydration can happen to anyone, no matter how healthy they may seem on the surface. Symptoms can sneak up on you, and nobody is immune to the risks of not staying hydrated enough. Hydration awareness is an important reminder that no matter how young, agile, or fit we may feel, our bodies need water, and health isn't something to mess around with.
