If you're reading this, you're probably dehydrated. No, really: Research shows that more than half of all teens in the U.S. aren't drinking enough water.
Whether that's because of your busy sched (how's a girl to remember to hydrate during a packed day at summer camp?), taste preferences (we get it, water isn't the most exciting) or lack of aesthetic cup (you're still salty about missing out on the Target Stanley), skimping on your H2O intake can have some serious consequences.
"The human body is made up of at least 50% water, so staying hydrated is important for it to properly function," says registered dietitian Emily Spurlock.
Not only is adequate hydration essential for your brain, muscles, digestive system and energy levels, but it also boosts your skin health (hellooo, glowy complexion) and mood (people who drink more water have a lower risk of depression and anxiety).
We'll give you this: Remembering to consistently drink up is a habit that, just like meditating or reading or exercising, can take some getting used to. That's why we're pouring out our top tips to up your hydration game this summer-and beyond.
