Hi there, health enthusiasts! Let’s take a plunge into an often-underrated aspect of wellness — hydration. Do you remember your last glass of water? It might have been more pivotal for your health than you realize. Inspired by a sobering article, “Cancer’s Soaring Cost Wrecks Patients’ Finances in a Broken System,” it’s clear that preventative measures are more important than ever. So, why not start with something as simple (and refreshing) as water?

Water may not be the most glamourous health topic. It doesn’t have the appealing taste of an acai bowl or the aesthetic of a sunrise yoga class. But, let’s think of water as the Kevin Bacon of health – it connects all aspects of wellness. Here, we’ll explore how hydration tracking can support better sleep, sharper focus, and optimal metabolic health.

Did you know that being properly hydrated can help you catch more Z’s? Yes, water is your secret weapon for your battle against sleepless nights. A 2012 study published in the journal “Sleep” found that dehydration can lead to increased nighttime awakening. So, if you wake up in the middle of the night more often than a parent of a newborn (minus the crying, of course), you might need to consider your water intake.

As for focus, let’s draw your attention to another study. The Journal of Nutrition published research in 2012 that found a mere 1.36 percent dehydration in women can hinder concentration and mood. Suffice to say, it’s hard to concentrate when your brain is parched. We wouldn’t make a plant grow without water, why should our brains be any different?

Speaking of growth, let’s take a moment to appreciate our metabolic system, the unsung hero of bodily functions. A 2013 study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that drinking just 500 ml of water can increase metabolic rate by 30 percent in both men and women. Imagine getting a 30 percent increase in efficiency just from staying hydrated. If only my internet connection took the same hint!

Now you might be asking, “How do I know if I’m getting enough H2O?” You’re a busy person, and keeping a tally of how many glasses of water you’ve had can be as difficult as remembering every single password you’ve ever created. That’s where SimpleFitness.ai comes in.
