Why it matters
Staying hydrated helps you stay alert, focused, and energized throughout the day. It also helps regulate body temperature, supports your joints, and helps your body flush out toxins. Dehydration can bring on headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and trouble concentrating, all of which can affect your work and your wellbeing.
Hydration breaks support your mental wellbeing too. Drinking water can help ease stress and anxiety, and stepping away for even 30 seconds gives you a moment to pause, breathe, and reset before diving back in.
