8 Reasons To Stay Hydrated + One Pitfall To Avoid

3 min read.
You hear it all the time... staying hydrated is important.
But what does that actually mean and how do you "stay hydrated"?  
Here are 8 reasons why you should stay hydrated + one pitfall to avoid!

1. Regulate Body Temperature

If your body gets too hot or too cold you're in for a tough go. Staying hydrated will help you keep your body temperature in the sweet spot.

2. Keep Joints Lubricated

Imagine your arms and legs suddenly stop bending like they're supposed to. Staying hydrated keeps them moving smoothly. 

3. Prevent Infections

Dehydration zaps your body of the energy and resources it needs to fight infection. 

4. Deliver Nutrients to Cells

Imagine that there are little cargo boats in your body with essential nutrients on them. Your cells need those nutrients to function but If there's no water, they can't travel to the cells and deliver the nutrients. 

5. Maintain Proper Organ Function

After about 3 days without water, your organs will actually fail. Best to stay hydrated daily to make sure everything keeps working properly!

6. Improve Sleep Quality

Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night because you were SO thirsty? Hydrating properly will improve overall sleep quality.  

7. Improve Cognition

Without proper hydration, you're brain's going to be a bit foggy and your decision making will be impaired!

8. Improve Mood

Hydrating properly will boost your energy levels and improve mood!

The Pitfall to Watch Out For

The dilemma we face is that, in most cases, common tap water lacks the essential vitamins and minerals the body needs to rehydrate.

To get those electrolytes and vitamins, we turn to popular hydration drinks but we might be doing more harm than good due to the ultra-high sugar content in them or in the case of zero sugar options, the artificial sweeteners! 

Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health said, "It’s best to stay away from sugar-sweetened beverages when trying to stay hydrated. You might say we are malhydrated, because we drink so much soda and fruit juice and other sugar-sweetened beverages, and by that I mean we drink beverages that harm our health. Even energy drinks and vitamin waters, most are loaded with sugar and not worth the use."

So what do you do?

We asked ourselves that same question and came to the conclusion that there aren't a lot of good hydration options out there.

Even if a hydration drink claims to be sugar-free, reading the fine print reveals that they're full of artificial sweeteners that may have even worse health effects than sugar itself!

We set out on a mission to solve these problems and came up with a crazy new spin on hydration.

We call it, ProLoco!

It's a hybrid hydration + protein drink mix that's light and refreshing!

It is THE solution to getting all the benefits of hydration while avoiding the pitfalls. 

It also tackles another problem you and I face.

Protein Deficiency.

ProLoco has 8 grams of lean muscle-building protein so you can beat cravings which means you'll avoid sugar-filled junk foods! 

Here's a visual of why ProLoco is the best hydration option out there.
