Most Americans are mildly dehydrated on a day to day basis without realizing it. Studies show that 75% of us are dehydrated on any given day, and even slight dehydration can cause fatigue, irritability, and mild cognative issues. Adding just a few 8 oz glasses of water can relieve these effects. Keeping purified water, like what you get with Colorado Spring Water Delivery, on hand can vasty improve your daily life.

Something few people are aware of is that being mildly dehydrated can slow your metabolism by 3%. If you are one of the countless people watching their waistlines, drinking more water is an easy metabolism boost! Water also gives a full feeling, a bonus for making it through snack time.

Other symptoms that could be caused by mild to moderate dehydration are “floaters” or visual snow, headaches akin to a hangover, unexplained fatigue, mild dizziness while standing, irritability, and dry mouth. When battling an illness is usually when we worry about getting dehydrated, but as the average American adult is 62% water, even a small 1% or 2% drop can cause these effects. Think of this: 75% of our brain, 70% of lean muscle, and 80% of our blood is all water. Dehydration can effect every single aspect of how our bodies perform.

Another reason most people are unaware of this problem is because very few of us have limited access to drinkable fluids. We’re drinking coffee, soda, energy drinks, sugary teas all day long. Hydration becomes a problem here because while the actual fluid in these drinks hydrates in the short term, long term components of these beverages cause us to dehydrate faster. Anything carbonated or caffeinated especially have a diuretic effect upon our bodies.

So why don’t more people skip the jittery side effects and immediately go to a glass of water to fight fatigue? When asked why they don’t drink more water, one of the most common answers is taste. Tap water taste and quality is something that greatly varies from area to area, but even where the quality is best, nothing can match filtered water. Water filtration like you get from Colorado Springs water delivery removes the contaminants that municipal filtration leaves behind. Once these sometimes dangerous contaminants are gone, you’re left with only a pure clean taste. Not to be overlooked is that consuming filtered water versus bottled water to get that refreshment is more economical as well as more environmentally conscious. Add in the fact that Clearly Colorado offers a Price for Life Guarantee and no one need consider fresh, clean filtered water a luxury.
