The Most Overlooked Wellness Ritual?

You’ve heard it before - drink more water. But between the busyness, the coffees, and the “I’ll do it later,” hydration often ends up at the bottom of the list.

The truth is, even mild dehydration can affect how you feel. That mid-afternoon brain fog? The low energy? The short fuse? Often, it’s your body asking for something simple: water.

Why It Matters

Your body is mostly water. So when you’re not getting enough, everything slows down - your digestion, your mood, your focus. And while juice or coffee might offer some fluid, they’re not the same. Caffeine, in particular, can be dehydrating - so that latte isn’t doing you many favours.

Signs You Might Be Dehydrated (Even a Little):

• Headaches or fuzzy thinking
• Dry lips or mouth
• Fatigue that doesn’t lift
• Irritability or feeling flat
• Cravings (your body often confuses thirst with hunger)

Try This Today

• Start your morning with a big glass of water before anything else
• Carry a bottle with you - and actually drink from it
• Infuse it with tea if that makes it more inviting
• Sip throughout the day, especially between meals

Small sips, often. That’s the key. Hydration isn’t about chugging litres at once - it’s about steady support, like everything we believe in at joorf.
