Winter Hydration - What to Know!

Staying hydrated during the winter months is crucial if you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Benefits of proper hydration during winter:

• Drinking water can give your immune system a boost and help prevent you from getting sick during peak cold and flu season.
• Drinking water can increase your metabolism and help you feel full, longer. This can help ward off unwanted extra body weight when outdoor activity is limited.
• Water helps regulate body temperature and is essential to the function of cells, tissues and organs. 
• Drinking water keeps you hydrated internally and can help keep your skin soft and in optimum health. 

Tips for consuming water during winter:

• Try a warm beverage
• Try warming up with a nice cup of hot green tea, or even hot water with lemon. These two hot beverages will keep you cozy on a chilly winter's day. 
• Think outside the cup

• Several fruits and vegetables have a high water content that can help you reach your daily intake goals. Produce like, broccoli, strawberries and celery are all great sources of water.
• Do soup for supper
• Swap your traditional entree for a soup. Low-calorie soups are a great way to sneak in some extra water.
• Drink before you eat
• Drink a glass of water before each meal. Make this a habit and you will be ahead of the hydration game!
