💧 What Exactly Is Dehydration? 💧

Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluids than it takes in, and it’s more common than you might think.

Mild to moderate dehydration is defined as losing 2–6% of your body weight through fluids.

😮 Did you know?
Up to 75% of people are dehydrated every day simply from losing water and electrolytes through sweat, saliva, urine, and normal body processes.
And because water alone doesn’t contain electrolytes, it often isn’t enough to fully rehydrate you.

Common Causes of Dehydration:

🏃 Exercise
Sweat = electrolyte loss. This can reduce performance and lead to muscle cramps.

✈️ Travel
Dry airplane air, hotter climates, busy days, and more alcohol can all deplete fluids.

🍷 Alcohol
Alcohol acts as a diuretic, increasing fluid loss and contributing to hangover symptoms.

🔥 Excessive Heat
Hot weather means more sweating — and more fluid and electrolyte loss.

🤒 Fever
A raised body temperature leads to increased perspiration and reduced hydration levels.

🤢 Vomiting & Diarrhoea
Stomach bugs and food poisoning can cause rapid, dangerous fluid and electrolyte loss.

💬 Stay ahead of dehydration by recognising the signs and replenishing both fluids AND electrolytes.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

This month, we stand with Breast Cancer Foundation NZ in their mission to achieve zero deaths from breast cancer.

Everyone’s breasts are different – that’s why it’s so important to know what’s normal for you. Being familiar with the look and feel of your breasts means you’re more likely to spot changes early, and early detection saves lives.

💗 Take a moment this month to check in with your own health.
💗 Share this message with the women (and men!) in your life.
💗 Learn more about knowing your normal here: https://bit.ly/3AFg4xj

Together, we can make a difference.
