How Busy Teachers Stay Hydrated

Teachers, we see you. Charged with educating and nurturing the next generation, you spend long hours teaching, caring for and advising our children. You are on your feet a lot and are often rushing from class to class, giving you no time for a real break. In all this, it is very likely you forget to take care of yourself, especially when it comes to staying hydrated.

Drinking enough water in a day is so important, especially for teachers who need to stay focused and energetic for hours. When the body doesn’t get enough water, muscle fatigue sets in and cognitive function decreases. It can also lead to dehydration which can cause joint pain, lethargy and an overall uncomfortable physical feeling. So, it is vital you keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.

When you have enough water in your system you are brighter, able to think clearly, have more energy and are active– all things you need as an educator to be at the top of your game. Long-term as well, staying hydrated improves overall health and well-being.

• First set a water intake goal. The Mayo Clinic recommends you drink at least 8 glasses (8 ounces per glass) of water in a day. But according to your age, weight and how active you are this can vary a bit. This is where our app helps you. It can calculate how much water you need per day based on your age, height, weight, gender, and general activity. We have worked with doctors and nephrologists to come up with this equation and even take your location and the temperature into account among other variables.

• Once you know how much water you need to drink in a day, set the goal on your HidrateSpark smart app which is linked to your bottle. This app also links to your fitness tracker and health app.

• Carry the bottle with you throughout the day, when you need to drink water the bottle will glow reminding you to stop and take a swig of water. We know you may have days where you simply can’t carry a bottle around, so the app lets you know how much to drink when you get home to rehydrate.
