Hydration refers to the process of providing your body with adequate amounts of water. Water is essential for nearly every function in your body, from regulating body temperature to supporting cellular processes. In simple terms, it’s about keeping your body "filled up" with enough fluids so it can run smoothly.

Temperature Regulation: Water helps to regulate body temperature through sweating and evaporation. It ensures that our body maintains a stable internal temperature, especially during physical activities or hot weather.

Digestion and Nutrient Transport: Water is essential for the breakdown of food. It helps in the digestion process, dissolves nutrients, and transports them through the bloodstream to various cells.

Joint Lubrication: Water helps lubricate the joints, making movement smooth and reducing friction, which prevents injury during activities like walking or exercising.

Waste Removal: The kidneys rely on water to flush out toxins and waste products from the body through urine. Proper hydration ensures that the kidneys can perform this function effectively.

Cellular Function: Water is involved in many cellular processes, from energy production to protein synthesis. Cells need water to function optimally.

Hydration is not just essential for physical health; it also plays a major role in mental performance. Even mild dehydration can affect your ability to concentrate, focus, and make decisions. Your brain is about 75% water, so it needs a constant supply to function optimally. Dehydration can lead to mood swings, irritability, and even memory problems.
