From childhood to pregnancy and through your senior years, staying hydrated is always important. It’s essential to keep young children and the elderly hydrated because they may not recognize their body’s own thirst signals. Pregnant woman and nursing mothers need to drink extra water because they’re hydrating for two.
Federal guidelines require at least 2L of drinking water per day, per person for a period of at least 72 hours, to be on hand in the event of an emergency. With Water Pure & Simple, you can choose from our 4L, 8L, 11.3L and 18.5L bottles to ensure you have the drinking you need should normal water service be suspended for any reason.
75-90% of our population is chronically dehydrated, even though Canadians consume 350L of water every day. But much of that water is used for purposes other than drinking, including laundry and bathing. By the time you feel thirsty, your body is already slightly dehydrated. So make sure you drink at least the recommended 2-3L of water every day.
Dehydration is actually the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. That’s why so many people find themselves hitting a mid-afternoon lull at the office. In fact, a mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on a computer screen or printed page. That’s why it’s best to keep a glass of water by your desk to sip throughout the day to help you stay hydrated and focused.
Your body needs extra water in both summer and winter. In the summer months your body loses more water from extra perspiration, while in the winter, your body has to work harder to maintain its body temperature. Pay particular attention to how much water you drink, no matter the season.
