🌟 Stay Hydrated! Day 7🤰💦

How did the water challenge go for you? Have you been able to increase your water intake successfully? What differences have you noticed?

Sometimes we need reminders to help us keep up with drinking water, and our phones are great for that. Set timers to go off throughout the day as a quick check-in to see how you’re doing with your water intake. There are also apps you can download that help keep track of your water consumption, and some of these will also send you reminders to your phone or smartwatch.

Let me if you have any questions, I am just a DM away! 😀

🌟 Stay Hydrated! Day 6🤰💦

During the hours we spend asleep, which typically amount to around eight hours per night, our bodies go without any water intake.

It is essential to kickstart each morning by replenishing the water lost during this period.

Starting the day with a generous glass of water helps to rehydrate our system and compensate for the lack of fluids during the night.

🌟 Stay Hydrated! Day 5🤰💦

During pregnancy, the requirement for fluids increases significantly.

As your baby develops, they are immersed in the amniotic fluid within your uterus.

Furthermore, your blood volume undergoes a substantial increase starting from the first trimester.

Adequate water intake becomes even more crucial during this period, as it helps maintain proper circulation. This, in turn, ensures the delivery of essential nutrients to your growing baby and aids in the elimination of waste products.

Water is not just a substance we consume, but a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in our bodies. In fact, as adults, approximately 65% of our body composition consists of water. It is indispensable for nearly all our physiological functions. While water can be obtained from various sources, including food, incorporating fresh, raw fruits and vegetables into your diet can provide a significant amount. Alternatively, consuming pure filtered water, free from added sugars or artificial sweeteners, is highly recommended.

After giving birth, your body needs time and nutrients to heal. Eating a well-balanced, nutrient-dense diet can help support this process and ensure that you have the energy and stamina you need to care for your new baby.

✨ The postpartum recovery period is a crucial time for new mothers to focus on their nutrition.

Pregnant and dealing with gestational diabetes? Good news! Certain foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels during pregnancy.
