Introduction
When we talk about heart health, we usually think of exercise, blood pressure, or cholesterol. But what if one of the simplest ways to care for your heart is often overlooked?
Staying hydrated is essential for proper circulation and heart function.
Why water matters for your heart
Your body is made up of around 60% water. It’s not just about quenching thirst—it’s about enabling your heart and blood vessels to work efficiently.
When you’re dehydrated:
- Blood becomes thicker, making it harder to circulate.
- The heart works harder, increasing stress on the cardiovascular system.
- There’s a higher risk of arrhythmias and fatigue.
Hydration as a daily habit
Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. The key is to drink water consistently throughout the day.
Some helpful habits:
- Start your morning with a glass of water
- Carry a reusable bottle with you
- Choose water over sugary beverages
