The importance of keeping hydrated in winter:
Are you experiencing scratchy eyes, itchy dry skin or yawning through your afternoon meetings? You’re probably not tired or getting sick – it’s likely you’re simply experiencing winter dehydration.
It’s winter, it’s cold. You’re wrapped up and snuggling close to the heater or fire. The last thing on your mind is the importance of hydration. Surely that’s a summer issue – it’s not so important in winter? Wrong!
“Our bodies need to be hydrated all year long,” says Tony Marchesini, Managing Director of leading water purification company H2O International. “Whatever the temperature, we are continually using up our moisture supplies – through breathing, urination, sweating and other bodily functions. Water loss is just more obvious in the summer heat. Whatever the weather, we have to continue to put water back into our systems.”
You know that sandpapery feeling in your eyes after a few hours studying or watching TV next to a heater? Or the helpless yawning you experience during a day spent working in a heated room? That’s your body trying to tell you to put back some of the water you’ve lost. Dark urine, dizziness, tiredness, thirst and dry skin can all indicate dehydration.
Sure, have a cup of coffee to jolt you awake, a hot chocolate to warm you up or a glass of red wine to relax but for the rest of the time, keep a bottle of purified water nearby. It doesn’t contain sweeteners, caffeine or chemicals and it really is the best solution (pun intended).
“Have a pitcher of great-tasting, purified water at hand, maybe on your desk at work or in the fridge for the kids. You will be astonished at how often you and they naturally reach for it, and how delicious it tastes. This is a sure sign of how much your body loves it and needs the hydration” says Marchesini. “If you or your kids don’t like the taste of your water, or if you’re worried about its quality, look into purifying it. There is a range of solutions available from desktop pitchers and personal countertop purifiers, to larger under-counter products and whole-house systems.”
Marchesini notes that H2O International’s premium purifiers are the only purifiers in the country to contain the GAC/KDF®/Riolyte® Process Media Bed. Unlike carbon, it is truly bacteriostatic with an electrolytic field that creates an environment that is deadly to algae and many other microorganisms.
The H2O International media bed is made up of KDF®/Riolyte® and a high-grade coconut shell activated carbon. Numerous scientific tests have found it to be effective in reducing or removing unwanted contaminants from municipally treated water – not only the toxic bacteria, but also heavy metals, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
“Personally, I worry about all the contaminants leaching into our water through the aging pipe system, as well as the treatment chemicals used. I get great peace of mind in knowing that the water I’m providing for my family is pure. It’s, obviously, also so much better for them than a sweetened beverage, and the H2O International media bed makes our water taste exceptional. We are not the number-one water purification company in the country by chance. Our customers love H2O International because of our great tasting water as well as the peace of mind they get, knowing that unwanted contaminants have been removed.
“Water that tastes fantastic is water that you and your kids will willingly drink every day. I invite anyone to pop into any of our stores and do the taste test. I am convinced that you and your family will become H2O International water lovers for life! I got involved with H2O International for my family’s sake, and I still believe it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
