Why do I have a headache? 

The heat is back and seems to be in full swing. Although it's not peak summer yet, most of us haven't gotten into the hydration rhythm that our bodies are screaming for. Accustomed to cold-weather teas and soups, most people forget that in the summertime, you actually have to drink water, and a lot of it. 

Grab your electrolytes and fortify the water in your cup. It's time for hydration season and a moment of water-fueled self-care. 

My grandma used to always say that water cured everything. If you were sick, if you had a headache, if you had a bad day at work, or if you failed a test at school, water was most likely the answer. Did you drink enough water today? According to her, it was impossible to overdo it, so if you were chugging 15 gallons of Crystal Geyser fresh spring water every day, it wasn't enough. 

Although it was off base, that instilled some good habits. Now, drinking water is second nature and as delightful as ever. At 2 AM, that glass of ice water hits differently, and on a hot day in the sun, a splash of water dribbling down your chin is divine. 

It's almost that time again, folks, where the water you consume is never enough, so start now and get hydrated. Beauty, stamina, energy, and a lack of headaches are in your future because you're going to be the most hydrated person this world has ever seen. Like dear ol' Meemaw always said, water is the source of life, and you're already living in a bit of a deficit without it. 

Go fourth an hydrate, my friends, for the summer awaits nobody, and the record heat waves are inevitable. Grab your Hydroflask, your Liquid IV, your Camelback, or whatever souvenir mug lives in your cupboard and fill it to the brim. Hydration awaits those who reach out and grab whatever sips of water they can. Especially when it's getting hot outside…

It may not be as refreshing as the pool, but today is a bad day to be a tall glass of water.
