In fact, it’s estimated that an eye-watering 75% of adults living in the USA are chronically dehydrated.
Drinking water is an important habit in any healthy lifestyle, just a 1% drop in total body water content can negatively affect your cognitive ability and overall mood.
Most people tend to make a habit out of staying hydrated during the warmer summer months, after all, you’re more likely to be outside and sweating more than normal. However, it’s equally as important to stay hydrated during the colder, winter months - and arguably harder to manage.
In the colder months, we tend to sweat less and feel less of the ‘tell-tale’ signs of dehydration, such as feeling thirsty, getting dry-chapped lips, or experiencing general fatigue - all of which could easily be mistaken for the change in temperature.
What are the winter months well known for?
Christmas. Warm, cozy drinks. ski-trips. And the Flu.
When the temperature drops and the snow starts falling it’s easier than ever to catch a cold - after all, the flu loves the cold weather.
The dry, crispy air of the Fall and Winter months will dehydrate you just as quickly as the sweltering heat of the Summer - dehydration mixed with the cold temperature makes it exceptionally easy for germs to spread.
So, if you’re looking forward to a Flu free winter season - stay hydrated.
Your skin will also benefit greatly from staying hydrated as the temperature drops; the cold, dry air is really good at drying out your skin, chapping your lips, and causing outbreaks.
When you’re hydrated your skin won’t be as dry and won’t be as flaky - additionally, using a strong facial moisturizer ensures your skin stays on it's A-game.
And finally, staying hydrated keeps you warm.
Your body needs fluid to regulate your internal body temperature, in the Summer your sweat will cool you down, in the Winter being dehydrated can cause your internal body temperature to drop - and when it’s cold outside the last thing you want to be is cold inside.
If you’re planning on making the most of the snow, Christmas markets, and beautifully aesthetic Fall and Winter months staying hydrated will keep you warm, energized, and healthy.
Even if you don’t feel as thirsty as you do in the Summer months that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t aim to drink the same amount of water. The ideal amount depends on your gender, age, general health, and a few other important variables.
The general consensus is to drink between 8-10 cups of water per day. If you’re physically active, pregnant, or breastfeeding it is recommended to drink up to 12 cups per day.
The important thing to take note of is that each and every person is different, and each and every person’s water requirements will differ. If you need help determining what is the right amount for you, consult with your doctor.
The important thing is that if you’re already drinking the correct amount of water per day is to keep it up - don't slack because you don’t feel as thirsty. But, if you’re not currently in the habit of drinking enough water and want to get started, here are a few tips:
If you find drinking water plain, boring, and just generally unenjoyable then we’d recommend adding fruit to your water bottle. There are hundreds of possible combinations for you to try, but we’d recommend trying Cucumber and Mint, Lemon and Lime, and Berries.

I have only been using the infuser bottle for a few days but I love it. Living with only one kidney means getting plenty of water to keep my remaining kidney healthy. I was so bored with plain water, tea, and coffee (which is not great for the kidney anyway). This infuser bottle worked like a charm. In no time at all I had 70 ounces down. Now I can keep track of my water intake so much easier too. Thanks.

I have always had a bottle of water with me, I gave up pop several years ago and occasionally do miss it but have not had any. I love water and will add fruit to it for a change up, I love my water bottles, they are so pretty and before I know it it’s empty so it’s so easy to get my water in. I love the challenges, keep them coming!
