Heatwave hydration hacks
This week’s blog is all about staying happy and hydrated in the sun, which is forecast for most of us this bank holiday weekend across the UK!
The human body is made up of around 75% water and if this level is not maintained the body cannot function effectively. In hot conditions extra pressure is placed on our bodies and so increasing our water intake is vital for healthy hydration.
In the heat we can quickly become dehydrated. The body tries to cool itself by sweating and this leads to valuable water loss. Dehydration occurs if this water is not replaced and typical symptons include headaches, tiredness and dizziness. More useful heatwave hydration advice can be found here.
Water coolers are great in offices and corporate environments. Fountains and dispensers are perfect for high footfall public areas serving chilled and filtered water that is pristine.
Treat your family or team with a branded bottle to reuse and refill; increasing company awareness as well as treating your team. The popular colourful metal flasks, such as Chilly’s and SHO, keep beverages hot for 12 hours and cold 24!
Whatever your plans, keep on drinking! Water that is! Grab your self a resuable bottle for life, ideal at work, home and on the go this hot bank holiday weekend.
