Hi Wellness Fam!
No matter the season, staying hydrated is key for both you and your pets. Hydration impacts energy levels, digestion, and healthy skin and coat for everyone in the family. Here’s a guide to keeping hydration top-of-mind for you and your furry friends!
Hydration Tips for You:
Infused WaterElevate your water by infusing it with fresh flavors like citrus, berries, or cucumber. Herbs such as mint or basil add a refreshing twist, making hydration enjoyable and flavorful.
Regular RemindersDid you know that 75% of American adults are chronically dehydrated? Set alarms or use a hydration app to meet your daily goal of at least 95 ounces, adjusting for activity and climate. Staying mindful about hydration can prevent fatigue and help keep your body functioning at its best.
Reusable Water BottleFind a water bottle that’s both functional and enjoyable to use, such as our Asher House Wellness Stainless Steel Water Bottle. This eco-friendly, durable option is perfect for keeping your beverages cool and making hydration convenient. Investing in a quality bottle not only supports sustainability but also makes it easier to stay on track.
Water-Rich FoodsIncorporate high-water-content foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges to boost your intake naturally. These foods support hydration and add beneficial nutrients to your diet.
Hydration Tips for Your Pet:
Ice Cube TreatsFor a fun hydration boost, freeze low-sodium broth or water with their favorite treats inside. These icy rewards keep pets engaged, especially during warmer months, and ensure they’re getting extra hydration.
Multiple Water BowlsPlace bowls in different areas of your home to encourage consistent drinking. Consider using our Stainless Steel Pet Bowl with a non-slip base for durability. This ensures fresh, accessible water and makes meeting their hydration needs easier. Aim for one ounce of water per pound of body weight daily for optimal pet hydration.
Hydrating FoodsAdding wet food or water-soaked kibble to your pet’s diet is a simple way to increase water intake. This is especially helpful for pets that may not drink enough water on their own.
Why Proper Hydration Matters:
Proper hydration plays a crucial role in energy levels, digestion, and maintaining healthy skin and coat for you and your pet. It’s a simple yet powerful wellness habit that supports both immediate and long-term health. Ensuring you and your pet have access to fresh, clean water and enjoyable ways to hydrate can make a significant difference in your daily well-being.
