Busy at work? Distracted at home? Lost all recognition of what being thirsty feels like and mistaking it for hunger?
Even if you do have a jug of water sitting on your desk or have water bottles filled up at home it is still all to easy to forget to drink. We get preoccupied with tasks and that takes our concentration, our awareness off to something else and our body's responses, it's signals, get ignored or even shut off and then when our focus returns back to just "being" we have no idea why we feel so tired, have a headache, or even irritable.
Making the most of all the tools that we have available can assist us in preventing dehydration.
The majority of us have a smart phone with us all the time, so installing a Water Alert app is a clever way of making sure we get to the end of the day fully hydrated.
