Maxigesic is all about making hydration easy this summer
Staying hydrated is a great idea year-round, and during the warmer months, it’s an essential. But how much water do you really need?
It’s true that your body needs water to function—but research has revealed that the old adage of ‘eight glasses a day’ isn’t a one-size-fits-all rule. Most adults need around 4-6 glasses a day, and that ramps up if you’re more active or in hotter climates. Either way, staying well hydrated is important for your overall health, and it can even affect how your body responds to pain. When you’re low on fluids, pain signals can actually become stronger, with even mild dehydration making headaches, fatigue and muscle pain feel worse. But it’s important to remember that while research shows that staying hydrated supports recovery and may help ease discomfort, it’s not a cure.
Key to staying your hydrated best all summer long is carrying a water bottle with you wherever you go, as sipping steadily throughout the day helps your body absorb water more efficiently than chugging—a habit which triggers your body’s ‘flush’ response and sends most of it straight down the drain.
Staying hydrated can help keep you on track all day long, and this month Maxigesic has got just the thing to help you remember with a free water bottle with the purchase of any product from their range. Happy sipping, and bring on summer!
