Hey ladies, let’s chat about something simple, yet so powerful—water! Yes, I know, you’ve heard it before, but trust me, hydration is an absolute game-changer, especially during menopause.
As we go through menopause, our bodies are going through all kinds of changes. Hot flashes? Check. Night sweats? Oh yes. Skin that feels drier than ever? You got it! The good news? A lot of this can be eased by simply upping your water intake. Sounds too good to be true, right? But it’s not.
Let’s start with those hot flashes. Staying hydrated helps keep your body cool and may even lessen the intensity of those sudden heat waves that seem to appear out of nowhere. And for skin that feels like it’s missing that dewy glow? Water to the rescue! Hydration from the inside out helps keep your skin plump and less dry, so you can feel more like yourself again.
But it’s not just about the external benefits. Staying hydrated can also help with bloating and digestion, two things that can feel a little off during menopause. Plus, water supports our kidneys, helping to flush out toxins and keep everything working smoothly.
So, how much water should you be drinking? Aim for about 8 glasses a day, but listen to your body. Herbal teas, coconut water, or even water-rich fruits like cucumbers and watermelon count too! Please remember, mineral water (spring water) or filtered water are a much better option than tap water..And to make sure your cells get hydrated too, add a tiny amount of celtic salt to your water This is an AWESOME tip
Here’s the thing—keeping a cute water bottle (make sure its a glass bottle) by your side isn’t just a health hack, it’s self-care. It’s one of those small, manageable steps that can make a big difference as we navigate menopause together. So, let’s raise a glass (of water!) to hydration and feeling our best.
Cheers to you!
Looove & hugs, Sonja B
