Five Ways to Quench Your Way to Better Health: The Importance of Hydration in Healing Chronic Illnesses and Boosting Your Well-being
Being hydrated is the one thing that can make or break someone’s wellness.
Being chronically dehydrated due to not drinking enough liquids can be the one thing that brings out a chronic illness in someone, and the body can then start showing visible tell tale signs - like losing hair, having wrinkles, or something more severe.
If you eat fruit, this is something that can help rehydrate someone but it cannot replace being hydrated from liquids like water and coconut water. Most people barely make time to drink water, going through their whole day without drinking anything because they did not remember. We live in a society where staying hydrated is not so important, instead our ability to be workaholics is more rewarded. Staying hydrated is simple but it is a habit you may need to force yourself into at first.
The body will start to show signs of chronic dehydration usually after the age of 30 and then later on at 50. The body has had enough and then chronic signs will start to show, like severe menopause for women.
If we are chronically dehydrated, the organs, like the liver, are having a hard time detoxing toxins. Blood begins to thicken which makes delivering fresh oxygen around the body difficult. This can result in the brain not getting enough oxygen which then affects our mental clarity and brain.
Stay hydrated with:
lemon water
coconut water
fresh juice
herbal teas
fresh fruits and vegetables
Hydration is key for glowing skin, to aid constipation, and to help heal and prevent chronic illnesses.
Sending you health and wellness.

I always have a coconut water or herbal tea to accompany me throughout my work day.
