Never underestimate the power of good hydration. Athletes, farmers, and "Dr. Mom" know that hydration is a game-changer.
We need to be well watered. Humans are about 60% water. That is more than half. It is why we must drink when we exercise and even on ordinary days.
Our bodies respond in many negative ways when we are dehydrated. One of the early signs is often a headache. How many days do we get "too busy" and forget to drink? It is easy to do.
Jesus spoke of the "living water" only He could give.
" The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring." -Isaiah 58:11
We can hydrate by reading our Bibles, praying, and spending time in fellowship with those who encourage our souls. Drinking water first thing in the morning helps us rehydrate.
While that coffee is brewing, drink a glass of water. Before a meal, a glass of water is good for many reasons, as different studies indicate. We can easily misinterpret thirst as hunger. Some suggest water before snacking.
The reminder that fresh, clean, and available water is a luxury many of us live with everyday is something I do not want to take for granted.
Today, I am grateful for good hydration.
