When hydrated, your body is better able to break down fat, your appetite is better controlled and your energy is on point. Staying hydrated during the winter months is just as crucial as on hot days, especially if you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. There are plenty of reasons to increase your daily water intake and not only does water help you stay hydrated, but it also helps regulate your body temperature. The amount of water you should drink on a daily basis depends on your weight and overall level of physical activity of course, but drinking at least 2L (or 4 EQUA bottles) per day would be a great start! We’ve got some tips on how to stay properly hydrated in winter too.  1. Eat your fluids Fruits and veggies are packed with water and they can help you reach your daily intake goals. Broccoli, strawberries, and celery are all great sources of water. Moreover, here is our idea for a yummy and refreshing smoothie, that’ll make you hydrated. 2. Warm-up with warm beverages Warming up with a hot green tea or even hot water with a lemon sounds like a great option for cold winter days. These two hot beverages will keep you cozy on a chilly winter day. Did you know and EQUA bottle is perfect for tea as well? 3. Drink the right things at the right time When you’re trying to drink enough water, it’s just as important to know what to drink, not only how often. Both caffeine and alcohol can make your body even more dehydrated, so water, infused waters, smoothies, or teas would be the option to choose. Also, the timing is important, so drink a glass of water before each meal and make it a habit. Hint: It may help you to eat less as well ;) 4. Go decaf afternoon Coffee is great and it’s a must for us too, but it can be dehydrating. If you need a post-lunch boost we suggest these 2 options: Drink decaf coffee Drink more water as normal after your fav cup of coffee

Up to 70% of human adult body is water, therefore it makes total sense that fluids (especially water) are very important for our health and body balance. It also makes sense that your body can get dehydrated very quickly and since we care about you, we want to help you prevent that! Here are 6 signs which show that your body is experiencing dehydration and needs water ASAP.  1. Your pee appears dark Dark yellow urine is the first and most obvious sign of dehydration. It normally happens when blood pressure level falls and the kidney attempt to store water instead of expel it from the body. Note that urine can change its color due to various reasons, but dehydration is one of the most common ones. 2. Your skin is dry Water is essential for hydrated and glowy skin and when you don’t drink enough water, your body has to spend it for basic functions and your skin gets the short end and gets dry. As we know dry skin looks older and more tired, and we don’t want to look like that, right? 3. Your energy level is low and you feel tired When we’re properly hydrated, water maintains the appropriate amount of blood in our blood vessels and to regulate blood pressure. When we’re dehydrated, blood volume and blood pressure may drop. Without proper oxygen level, our muscles and nerves function slowly down and we become easily tired. 4. You feel dizzy When your blood pressure drops due to dehydration, dizziness often follows if you stand up too quickly. If the body is severely robbed of water, extreme confusion and dizziness can occur. You may also feel like you can’t catch your breath. 5. Muscle cramps Hydration is vital for your muscles contraction and when your body doesn’t have enough water in storage it can lead to muscle cramps. Muscle cramping with dehydration often occurs in the side or in a calf muscle. Both can be very painful, but hydrating can ease the pain and prevent continued cramping. 6. You feel hungry all the time If you leave drinking until you feel thirsty, you may become dehydrated before you’re actually thirsty. You may feel hunger when dehydrated, which explains why a single glass of water can easily shut down night time hunger pangs in almost all cases. However, dry, parched, thick feeling in the mouth can be a signal of late stage of dehydration. Now go ahead, take a sip of water and stay hydrated! :)

Water is so beneficial in so many ways! The majority of your blood and every cell in your body is composed of water and therefore you need a lot of it to function properly. The amount of water each person “has to” drink per day is very individual, but if you drink at least 2-3 liters per day you can never go wrong (this would be 4-6 bottles in EQUA language). There are many calculations on how much you should drink, but the best suggestion we can give you is - listen to what your body says and needs. We’ve also heard some comments on how un-tasty water can be, but we have a cool solution how to make it all yummy - add a squirt of lemon, a squeeze of lime, a few sprigs of fresh mint, a cucumber or orange slice or just whatever spice gets you to drink it up.
