Winter tip to keep you hydrated

MYTH:  I don’t need to drink as much water in the wintertime since I’m not sweating or in the hot sun.

FACT:  You actually need just as much water in the winter as in the summer.   Cold temperatures pull the moisture out of the air… and out of you!  Make sure you keep a humidifier running in your home to cut down on sore throats in the morning &  to help your family sleep more comfortably.  One great habit to get into during the winter is leaving a tall glass of water by your bedside.  Drink a few sips of it before bedtime (or during the night if you don’t have that humidifier runnning!) Before you even put one foot out of the bed the next morning, drink the rest of your water.  This is one good way to start your day better hydrated, more alert, and energized.  Plus, taking the time to drink your water in bed allows yourself a few minutes to fully wake up, think about the day ahead, and know that you’re starting your day off on the right foot.
