Maintaining Hydration - As Important as Maintaining Your Vehicle

Woman Drinking Water

If you own a vehicle, proper maintenance such as regular oil changes, rotating tires, and scheduled tune ups can help keep your car in shape and running at peak performance. A full oil reservoir in your vehicle keeps your engine lubricated and running smoothly and changing it regularly keeps it fresh, preventing it from getting dirty and turning to sludge. That sludge can clog up your vehicle and keep it from running well or, in some cases, at all. Checking the level of your oil and using the proper grade is also key. If there’s not enough oil or you are using the wrong kind, your engine isn’t going to be lubricated properly. Lack of oil can create friction and heat, causing your engine to fail, resulting in costly repairs.

Just as you need to keep your vehicle running in peak form, it is important to keep your body running in peak form. Our joints, organs, and cells need hydration to keep running smoothly and efficiently.

Benefits of Being Hydrated

There are many benefits to being properly hydrated:

    • Regulates body temperature
    • Keeps joints lubricated
    • Delivers nutrients to cells
    • Helps you sleep better
    • Improves mood
    • Fights infections
    • Improves cognitive ability

There are many ways to keep yourself hydrated, though drinking plenty of clean water is the main way. Eating a healthy diet that has plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables is another way to help stay hydrated.

Signs of Dehydration

Signs and symptoms of dehydration can be noticeable with mild dehydration. Mild dehydration can set in with only 1-3% water loss from your body. Signs include:

    • Dry mouth
    • Weakness
    • Lightheaded
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Muscle cramps
    • Confusion
    • Headaches
    • Organs, cells, and tissue functions begin to fail as dehydration worsens
    • In severe cases of dehydration, shock can set in

When severe dehydration happens, it is important to seek medical help.

Quality Water

To avoid dehydration, drink plenty of quality, clean water. Water with contaminants that affect the taste will make you want to drink less water. Plus, just like using the wrong kind of oil in your vehicle can cause your car to be sluggish and not “healthy,” drinking water that isn’t clean means that your body may start getting sluggish and not feel well also.
