Water is the main mediator of all chemical reactions in the human body. It generates about 4.2 million of reactions every second. The human body detects a lack of water - dehydration - by means of special cells in the central nervous system (the brain). When there is a lack of water, these cells give impulses to other centres, especially the thirst centre, because of the need to bring extra water into the body.
We therefore recommend that guests drink as much fluid as possible on hot days, when swimming and sunbathing on the beach, or walking for long distances in high temperatures. Plain water or a cup of tepid tea is the best way to stay hydrated. Avoid sugary and alcoholic drinks, as alcohol binds water to itself, causing further dehydration.
We recommend that all guests consume at least 1 litre of liquid daily (water, tea, sparkling water) and avoid sugary and alcoholic drinks during the day. You should also protect your skin with appropriate creams and protect your head with a suitable head covering.
The body also draws water from food, especially fresh fruit (watermelons and melons) and vegetables (cucumbers, celery, zucchini, tomatoes, lettuce), so in addition to hydrating with water, we recommend you to include fresh fruit and plenty of fresh vegetables in your meals. Keeping yourself hydrated will help you stay healthy and well all year round.
Remember, your body needs water to function optimally, regardless of the time of the year.
