We know that as busy nurses it can be difficult to drink water consistently every day. Between worrying about needing frequent bathroom breaks or being unable to carry a water bottle due to infection control concerns, it may seem impossible to down water while you work.
However, making hydration a priority is important. It can help with weight loss, provide an energy boost, and even improve skin tone. The National Academies of Science recommend men drink 3.7 liters daily and women, 2.7 liters daily, including moisture from foods.
Not drinking enough water increases your chances for joint pain, chronic fatigue, headaches, mood swings/irritability, poor digestion, sugar/salt cravings, staying sick longer, reduced ability to concentrate, reduced kidney function, premature aging, and dehydration — especially in the summer months.
As we experience the impacts of COVID-19, it's important to stay cognizant of our own self-care. This challenge will help you stay on your hydration p's and q's. That's why we ask you to join us in this 10 day hydration challenge. Are you ready? Sign up today and get started here.
