Hydration, Hot Weather, and Your Wellbeing
Today, I spoke with one of our clients about the recent hot weather. He told me it’s been affecting him quite a lot. He’s an engineer, and while his work is highly technical, it can also be physically demanding. Whether he’s outside under the blazing sun or indoors in a warm environment, the heat has been taking its toll.
He admitted he hasn’t been drinking enough water lately. As a result, his body feels achy, he’s feeling lethargic, and the worst part — his head feels foggy, almost like a mild hangover. It’s a perfect example of how something so simple and essential, like water, can be overlooked until our bodies send us loud signals something’s wrong.
Water is the most basic yet vital fuel for our bodies. It supports every system — from keeping joints lubricated to helping your brain stay sharp. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, lethargy, muscle tension, headaches, and that general “off” feeling we often can’t quite pinpoint.
At Revivify Massage Therapies, we see first-hand how dehydration can intensify muscle aches and reduce the benefits of your massage. That’s why we encourage all our clients to keep hydration a daily habit — not just during hot weather, but all year round. Staying hydrated not only helps you feel more alert and energetic, but also allows your muscles to respond better to massage, so you can leave feeling truly revived.
So, take a moment today to pour yourself a glass of water — your body will thank you for it.
