 WHAT IS HYDRATION?
Hydration is the body’s ability to absorb water, the
vital liquid it needs, and is based on how much is
available to it. Every cell, tissue, and organ requires
fluid to perform functions such as maintaining
temperature, disposing of waste products and
lubricating joints.
 WHAT IS DEHYDRATION?
Dehydration occurs when your body loses
more fluid than you take in. When the normal
water content of your body is reduced, it
upsets the balance of minerals (salts and
sugar) in your body, which affects the way it
functions. Water makes up over two-thirds of
the healthy human body.

 HOW DO WE KEEP OURSELVES HYDRATED?
The general recommendation
is 6–8 glasses of water on
top of what we eat, but it’s

isn’t a ‘one size fits all’
situation. To maintain
hydration, you should
regularly be drinking squash,
