Why Hydration Matters
Your body is about 60% water, and every system depends on it. Water regulates temperature, transports nutrients, lubricates joints, supports digestion, and helps remove waste. But hydration isn’t just about drinking water—especially when you're sweating, sick, or physically active. In those cases, your body loses essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. This is when electrolyte hydration drinks like SOS can help restore balance quickly.
According to the National Academies of Sciences, most adults should aim for:
-
3.7 liters (15.5 cups) of fluid daily for men
-
2.7 liters (11.5 cups) for women
9 Health Benefits of Staying Properly Hydrated
1. Boosts Physical Performance
Even 2% fluid loss can affect endurance, strength, and coordination. You also lose electrolytes through sweat, leading to fatigue and cramps. For optimal performance and recovery, mix 1–2 scoops of SOS Hydration into 500ml of water.
2. Improves Mood and Focus
Mild dehydration (as little as 1.5%) can cause irritability, anxiety, low energy, and trouble concentrating—especially in women, according to research from the University of Connecticut.
3. Aids Digestion
Water keeps your digestive system running smoothly and prevents constipation. Without enough fluids, the colon pulls water from waste, making stools hard and difficult to pass.
4. Reduces Bloating & Aids Weight Loss
Not drinking enough leads to water retention. Ironically, drinking more water reduces bloating. It also helps curb appetite. One study showed that women who drank 500ml of water before meals ate less and lost more weight over 8 weeks.
5. Supports Immune Function During Illness
When you’re sick with a cold, flu, or virus, fluids prevent dehydration from symptoms like fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. Moist mucous membranes also act as your body’s first defense against germs.
6. Prevents Bladder Infections and UTIs
Women who increased their water intake by 1.5L daily experienced a 48% drop in recurrent bladder infections. Staying hydrated flushes bacteria from the urinary tract.
7. Reduces Risk of Kidney Stones
Dehydration concentrates minerals in urine, increasing your risk of kidney stones. Drinking enough fluids dilutes crystal-forming substances and supports healthy kidney function.
8. Relieves Headaches and Hangovers
Many headaches are caused by dehydration. Drinking water (especially with electrolytes) can ease symptoms. Alcohol also causes fluid loss, so SOS Hydration before bed can help ease morning-after hangovers.
9. Improves Energy in the Morning
Sleep deprivation can affect vasopressin levels, a hormone that controls hydration. If you sleep less than 6 hours, you may wake up feeling tired and dehydrated. Start your morning with extra water—or SOS—to fight fatigue.
