Hydration
A bigger deal than you think

The Critical Pillar of Health Nobody's Talking About

Although a majority of people recognise the importance of diet, sleep, and exercise, very few of us realise that staying well hydrated is just as important for daily wellbeing.

Science has consistently shown that good hydration can mitigate the impact of serious health conditions like diabetes and hypertension while improving how we look and feel.

3 Things You Need to Know About Hydration


Hydration Helps to Alleviate the Impact of Diabetes and Hypertension

Beyond just parched lips and a dry throat, dehydration can worsen various health conditions including diabetes¹⁵ and hypertension.¹³

When we are dehydrated, our bodies secrete a hormone called vasopressin. This hormone can cause our blood vessels to tighten, which in turn causes our blood pressure to rise.⁴

Additionally, a lack of hydration also results in the amount of water in our bloodstream decreasing. This consequently leads to a higher concentration of glucose in our blood, creating a spike in blood sugar.¹

Keeping ourselves well hydrated helps to mitigate these potential problems, reducing the impact of diabetes, hypertension, and other serious health issues.

Hydration Makes You Look Better

Higher levels of hydration have been shown to correlate with healthier, better-looking skin.

In a study comparing subjects with ideal skin to subjects with undesirable skin, decreased skin hydration content was found to reflect an impaired skin barrier.¹¹

Additionally, skin with low hydration content has also been shown to be more prone to a variety of problems, including wrinkling, cracking, redness, and itching.²ʼ³

Water Is Not Enough

Osmolarity is a term that refers to the concentration of substances in a solution. While higher-osmolarity liquids can contain more nutrients and essential electrolytes, they are typically absorbed at a slower rate than liquids with a lower osmolarity.¹²

When choosing a suitable source of hydration, we hence want to find an option that perfectly balances the replenishment of electrolytes with rate of absorption.

According to the World Health Organization’s recommendations, liquids with an osmolarity ranging from 200–311 mOsm/L fulfil this criteria, providing optimal rehydration.¹⁸

Although water can be a decent hydration option in a pinch, it has an osmolarity that typically falls under 10 mOsm/L,¹⁰ meaning it falls significantly behind specialised hydration options.
