The Importance of Hydration

Water plays a vital role in many bodily functions.

Ensuring you are hydrated is essential for good health, but living in a hot climate like The UAE can make this a difficult task (think summer heat!)

Dehydration is when we do not have enough fluid in our body. This can happen when we do not drink enough fluid or lose more fluid than we consume.

It is more than just drinking water – it’s about maintaining balance for overall health. Water plays a vital role in regulating body temperature, aiding digestion, lubricating joints, and much more.

Proper hydration is essential for everyone, from athletes aiming for peak performance to those simply looking to maintain good health. Dehydration can be very dangerous. Losing just a small amount of your body fluid can cause headaches, irritability, fatigue and cramps. Hydration is crucial for athletes and sports enthusiasts, as dehydration can reduce performance by up to 25%. Due to the importance of hydration, we’ve partnered with Hydote to bring you high-quality electrolytes that help you stay hydrated and energized.

How Much Water Should You Consume?

The general advice is to aim for 35 ml per kg of body weight. For example, if you weigh 60kg you should aim to drink 2.1 Liters per day.

60 x 35 = 2,100 mls = 2.1L

The general advice is to aim for 35 ml of water per kg of body weight. For example, if you weigh 70 kg, you should aim to drink 2.45 liters of water per day. 70 x 35 = 2,450 mls = 2.45L


However, if we sweat more, we may need to increase this amount. An easy way to check your hydration status is by examining the color of your urine. Aim for a pale straw yellow color; yellow or dark brown urine indicates dehydration and signals the need to drink more water.

Water plays a vital role in many bodily functions. It helps in regulating the body’s temperature, ensures your joints are well-lubricated, aids in digestion and transportation of nutrients, prevents kidney stones, and facilitates the detoxification of waste from our bodies. Additionally, staying properly hydrated can enhance memory, boost cognitive function, and elevate one’s overall mood.

Where Can You Get Fluid?

The best way to hydrate is by drinking plain water. Fluids in teas and coffees also count. Don’t forget that food contains water too. For instance, watermelon and cucumber have high water content, offering a flavorful way to increase your fluid intake.
