As cooler weather arrives, it’s easy to forget about hydration. However, your body still needs fluids for energy, focus, digestion, and temperature regulation—even if you don’t feel as thirsty as you did in the summer heat.

• Sip Warm Beverages – Herbal teas, warm lemon water, or light broths can count toward your fluid intake while keeping you cozy.
  
• Incorporate Hydrating Foods – Add cucumbers, oranges, melons, and soups to your meals to boost hydration.
  
• Set a Schedule – Aim for regular sips throughout the day, even if you’re not thirsty. Carrying a reusable water bottle helps you stay consistent.
  
• Flavor It Up – Add sliced fruit, herbs, or a splash of 100% juice to water to make it more appealing.
  
• Hydrate Before and After Exercise – Cooler air may mask sweat loss, so it’s important to drink before, during, and after physical activity. If you train outside, try warming up post-workout with hot chocolate made with milk.

By keeping hydration top of mind this fall, you’ll support your health, energy, and performance no matter the weather.
