Why It’s Important to Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration supports skin health, helps to maintain a comfortable body temperature, cushions and lubricates joints, protects the spinal cord, and supports digestion. While there are no general hydration recommendations, many lifestyle factors may affect your water intake requirements. Begin with a goal of 8 glasses each day, and work with your primary care physician or nutritionist to establish a healthy range for your stage of life and activity levels.
