The human body needs to stay hydrated to function. This way your body can regulate its temperature, remove debris and lubricate joints.

The body loses water constantly in the most basic activities, so, staying hydrated is very important. Drinking water daily, 6 to 8 cups, depending on the needs of each person, it is advisable to stay healthy.

Although water is the best choice to stay hydrated, other drinks and foods also can do it, but some may add extra calories to your diet. Natural fruit juices and vegetables, dairy drinks and herbal teas can provide the necessary liquid to your body. We can not forget that fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, watermelon and lettuce are rich in hydrating fluids.

If you want to hydrate, I recommend keeping a water bottle with you all day. If you do not like the taste, you can add a few drops of lemon or orange for flavoring it.

Never forget to hydrate before, during and after physical activity. Drinking water can also contribute to a healthy weight loss plan.
