☝️ The problem of day-to-day hydration
A lot of people are under-hydrated day in, day out — due to one simple fact:
No two drinks are the same in terms of hydration value. Various drinks you have throughout the day (juice, soda, coffee, etc. ) allow your body to absorb different amounts of water. Some beverages will actually drain your body of water, instead of adding to its water balance.
Any liquor makes for a vivid example of this scientific fact: the nastiest part of every hangover has severe dehydration to thank for that awful morning-after headache! The problem of staying hydrated is not as obvious as popular culture would have us believe — the 'just drink something when you're thirsty' rule can get you nowhere fast, especially if you have the wrong kind of drink.
💦 The role of hydration in fasting
When you adopt intermittent fasting into your lifestyle, staying properly hydrated becomes an even more important issue. During a fast, you may turn down certain meals that have a drink with it — like a can of Coke or a glass of juice to wash it down. This may not sound like much of a loss, but in the big picture — your body will miss out on a lot of water unless you adjust properly.
That's exactly why drinking the right amount of water every day is a vital part of a healthy and safe fasting lifestyle, as well as a vital part of the app! Simple takes a lot of unnecessary worries and calculations related to hydration off your shoulders. Just use the in-app Hydration Tracker to stay focused on your daily hydration goal!
