BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY WITH WATER: STAY HYDRATED, STAY STRONG

 Philippines – To keep you healthy, your immune system relies on a well-hydrated body. In this summer season, maintaining optimal hydration is more important than ever. 

According to Susan Bowerman, Senior Director, Worldwide Nutrition Education and Training at Herbalife, water is the most natural drink on earth – humans, after all, drank water long before they enjoyed tea, coffee, herbal drinks or other beverages. So even though drinking a glass of water shouldn’t require a second thought, here's a reminder of why we need to pay more attention to consuming the world’s oldest beverage.

Adults have up to 60 percent water in their bodies, so it’s no surprise that we need to stay well-hydrated to stay healthy. In the Philippines’s hot and humid climate, proper hydration supports digestion, nutrient absorption and waste elimination. Additionally, without enough water, regulating body temperature becomes difficult, joints lose lubrication, and muscles fatigue more quickly. The bottom line is this: every cell, tissue, and organ needs water to function properly.

 Philippines - With the various changes brought by the current public health crisis, we all have a list of preventive measures that, for sure, we have memorized by heart, as part of the “new normal.”

Recently, the Department of Health (DOH) has made it even easier for everyone to remember these measures through its "BIDA Solusyon sa COVID-19" campaign. Aiming to encourage Filipinos to take an active role in the fight against the virus, the campaign emphasizes the importance of wearing a mask, frequently sanitizing or washing of hands, observing social distancing, as well as getting information only from valid sources.
