Did you know that during a typical day, we lose about 2.5 liters of water just by sweating, breathing, and ultimately, just by living? We replenish our water reserves partly through the water in our diet. To supplement this intake, it is recommended to drink between 1.5 and 2 liters of water per day.
It's not always easy when our days are very busy and full. As proof, 3 out of 4 French people don't drink enough water.
Daily
Good hydration is essential for the proper functioning of our body.
It's nothing new, water is vital for our bodies.
It ensures the proper functioning of a whole series of processes that guarantee our vitality and energy level.
For what ?
- Because our body is made up of 60% water.
- Because water is the main component of blood that carries oxygen and nutrients throughout our body.
- And finally, because water also helps regulate our temperature, eliminate waste, and lubricate our joints.
But sometimes water alone isn't enough for optimal hydration.
It all comes down to electrolytic balance.
What happens if I am dehydrated?
Do you feel tired and have difficulty concentrating?
Our brain, made up of 75% water, needs to be well hydrated to function!
Insufficient hydration slows blood flow and reduces the supply of oxygen, which is essential to the muscles and brain. As a result, cognitive function and the nervous system are affected, and fatigue sets in.

A multiple action
Do you have cramps or joint pain?
Inadequate hydration can lead to a decrease in synovial fluid, which is essential for joint lubrication, which can trigger pain and difficulty moving.
Are you prone to constipation or bloating?
It's not very glamorous, but let's talk about it! Proper hydration improves digestion and transit.
Good to know:
There are several levels of dehydration.
Mild dehydration,
corresponds to a loss of 1 to 2% of body weight, it causes fatigue, difficulty concentrating and a decrease in physical and cognitive performance of up to 10 to 20%.
Moderate dehydration,
corresponds to a loss of 2 to 4% of body weight, it manifests itself by more marked fatigue and a decrease in alertness.
Severe dehydration,
corresponds to a loss of 5 to 8% of body weight, causes disturbances of consciousness, hypotension and a risk of fainting or falling.
Did you know?
Older adults are particularly affected! Dehydration alone accounts for 7% of hospitalizations among those over 65. Why? Because the sensation of thirst and muscle mass decrease with age, making it easier to forget to drink.

Tips & best practices: Don't be in a bad mood!
No, we are not talking about getting up on the wrong side of the bed, but rather about the liquids that make up our body (such as blood, lymph, intracellular liquids) also called “humors”.
They are the ones who transport nutrients, oxygen, and waste to be evacuated: their role is fundamental in the balance of our health.
Two simple actions allow your “moods” to work well:
Drink quality water and consume good minerals.
