Prevent Dehydration-Drink Plenty of Water

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend! With the warm weather around the corner it is important that we adjust our fluid intake before and during hot work days in efforts to stay hydrated.

Try to avoid the caffeinated drinks which tend to make you urinate more often and drink plenty of water. Keeping the body hydrated helps the heart pump blood through the blood vessels and helps the muscles work efficiently. Our safety message for the week is to “Prevent Dehydration-Drink Plenty of Water”.

Keeping the body hydrated helps the heart more easily pump blood through the blood vessels to the muscles. And, it helps the muscles work efficiently.

Water regulates your body temperature and lubricates your joints. It also helps transport nutrients to give you energy and keep you healthy. If you’re not properly hydrated, your body can’t perform at its highest level. You may experience fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness, or more serious symptoms that could lead to life-threatening illnesses such as heat stroke.
