Green Water Technologies: Winter Water Requirements
Q: Is it really necessary to prioritize water when it’s cold out?
Green Water Technologies: Considering that your body is made up of mostly fluid, it’s absolutely necessary to drink water, no matter the weather. Most adults require approximately eight glasses of water every day – more if you’re active.
Q: Do people still perspire during the winter?
Green Water Technologies: Absolutely, although it may be at a slower rate. Perspiration can also evaporate quickly when air temperature is cool, making you believe that you aren’t actually sweating.
Q: What are some signs of dehydration?
Green Water Technologies: Feeling thirsty is obviously the first sign that your water balance is off. But an excessive lack of hydration can lead to stomach ache, muscle cramps, headache, mental confusion, grogginess, crankiness, and, in the worst cases, death. Not drinking enough water can also affect your skin and eyes. If you’ve ever had dust blown into your face, your eyes probably felt dry and a bit like sandpaper. Dehydration can make your eyes feel similarly.
Q: Should people drink more water when they have a cold?
Green Water Technologies: Absolutely. Even just a few extra ounces of water can help regulate body temperature, which can help you feel better if you have a fever. Plus, if you have a head or chest cold, water can help thin out mucus and make it easier to breathe. In addition to drinking water, you can ease respiratory issues by running a humidifier at night.
