Hydration is always a “hot” topic in the summertime – it is an essential element to staying well and at being at our best, whatever the season. Here are some tips and hacks to ensure you and yours are hydrated and happy!
Why is it essential? Every cell in the body, all our tissues and organs, and most of our functions, like blood pumping, breathing, moving and sweating – all require water. In fact, our body is 50 – 70% water. Water also supports brain function, skin health, and waste removal – all critical body systems are impacted by hydration.
To ensure we can maintain those systems, our body can extract water from many foods – humans get about 20% of their water intake from foods, including produce, proteins, and dairy. See the chart below for some high-water content produce – all of their energy and antioxidant benefits and water to support absorption – win win!
Each age and stage of life has a recommended range for the types and quantities of beverages that can support healthy hydration. You can find information about children’s needs here: Choose Water for Healthy Hydration – HealthyChildren.org. Keeping water handy and encouraging them to sip frequently will help them stay hydrated and build a good habit for health. Older adults may be at risk for dehydration and not realize it – lower activity or reduced awareness of thirst can set up a domino effect that can impact balance, memory, and chronic health issues. Learn about the signs, symptoms, and treatments for dehydration at the National Library of Medicine resource page: https://medlineplus.gov/dehydration.html.

New Items: BODYARMOR 20oz, 6 Packs
Well we thought we knew everything about BODYARMOR Sports Drink until this month when they dropped a brand new 6 pack 20oz package into our stores!
In case you are new to the BODYARMOR brand, they have a wide variety of Sports Drink flavors including the new in 2023 (and on the shelf at Price Chopper) Cherry Lime, Strawberry Banana Lyte, and Dragonfruit Berry Lyte. This new 6 pack 20oz package comes in the best 5 flavors that they produce. Strawberry Banana, Orange Mango, Fruit Punch, Strawberry Grape, and Peach Mango Lyte.
BODYARMOR prides itself on being the best sports drink in the category because you rehydrate with potassium from coconut water instead of salt. They have had an impressive list of athletes that support the brand and they continue to move into the entertainment world with recent partnerships with Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Lopez.
The 20oz 6 pack delivers in the category of “I didn’t know I needed this product until I picked it up.” The 16oz single serve is my go to and the 12oz 8 pack has been great for my kids, but when I picked up the 6 bottles of 20oz for less than $1 a bottle plus having those extra few ounces really hit the spot. Keep the Peach Mango Lyte 6 packs full please 😊.
BODYARMOR Sports Drink delivers hard-working hydration with potassium-packed electrolytes, antioxidants and no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or dyes. Look for the brand in the Sports Drink aisle.
