As a MELT instructor, I talk about hydration a lot. Water
is what keeps the connective tissue happy and in good shape. I suggest to
everybody to drink a glass of water after a class, and, from all I can see,
everybody trots dutifully to the water fountain to get their fill.
With the latest cold spell, I noticed a change. Water
bottles are not as common. To be honest, after a long walk with my dog, I feel
more like a hot cup of tea than a glass of water.
But that’s the problem: warmer temperatures make us so
much more likely to drink water. So we have to be a little more mindful that
hydration is just as, if not more important in the colder days.
And it has an added benefit: everybody complains about
the effects of heating on mucus membranes and the skin. So let’s get hydrated
and improve all of the above.
Prost! To your health!
