3 Ways to Stay Hydrated

April 6, 2013 By Leticia

3 Ways to Stay Hydrated TechSavvyMama.com

Water makes up more than two-thirds of the weight of the human body. Without water, humans would die in a few days. All the cells and organs need water to function.

~Water in Diet by National Institute of Health, MedlinePlus

Water is essential for life and while we know we should be drinking six to eight glasses of water daily to keep our bodies healthy, it’s easy to forget. It’s harder to forget with constant reminders and mixing it up with flavored water. Here are three tips on how to make water work for you in order to stay hydrated at all times.

Reusable Water Bottles TechSavvyMama.com

Gone are the days of unappealing clunky plastic bottles. From decanters in classic shapes, aluminum bottles with graphic prints, to glass bottles with silicone grips, there’s a bottle to suite every style, décor, and lifestyle. Find the ones that work for you and show them off with pride.

Keep Water Everywhere TechSavvyMama.com

When I was teaching, I got in the habit of keeping a water bottle on my desk. During those rare moments when I got to sit down and check my email, it reminded me to hydrate. I still keep a bottle on my desk that I refill whenever it’s empty. These days my water bottle is a regular fixture on my desk. I also have a bottle that comes with me in the car, one for my bag when I’m out with the kids, and another that is a favorite for travel. With bottles everywhere, I find it’s easier to stay hydrated at home and on the go.

Drink flavored water TechSavvyMama

If you’re simply not a fan of water (my grandmother hated the taste of water!), grab a flavored water. Flavored waters can be consumed for taste alone but often times they have additional health benefits that can’t be found in tap or regular bottled water.

When I travel, I keep my aluminum bottle filled and with me at all times but I also like to pick up water that is filled with extra vitamins to strengthen my immune system to help combat recycled plane air and the effects of time zone changes and late nights that can wreak havoc on an immune system.

A new favorite is Omega Infusion, a zero calorie beverage that features the same Omega-3 fatty acids that are found in fatty fish like salmon, oils, and nuts and help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Since our bodies can’t naturally produce the nutrients found in Omega-3, we need to add them to our diet. Omega Infusion contains 80mg of healthy Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) with natural energy from B vitamins and antioxidant vitamin C.

I like Omega Infusion because it comes in 4 different flavors- orange, fruit punch, citrus, and berry- and is just sweet enough without any calories to satisfy a sweet craving. Plus the health benefits that go along with drinking it because of the inclusion of Omega-3s are amazing!

Recent studies have shown several potential benefits of Omega-3s, including:

  • Improvement of cognitive function in both children and adults
  • Help with psychiatric disorders such as depression
  • Increased mental focus and motivation
  • Reduced stress levels and mental fatigue
  • Reduced macular degeneration
  • Strengthened red blood cells which may improve blood pressure, heart rate and vascular function
  • Possible anticancer benefits
  • Potential to counter inflammation
  • Higher level of satiety and appetite reduction

With all the benefits that come from the Omega 3s in Omega Infusion, it’s a good idea to use it as you hydrate. For more information about Omega Infusion, visit their website, Facebook page or Twitter account or look for it at Giant Stores, Stop & Shop and HEB stores.

I received samples of Omega Infusion to facilitate this post and was compensated for my time in writing this post and my research. Amazon Affiliate links are included. Photo of woman drinking water in top collage courtesy of Andy Newson FreeDigitalPhotos.net.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
