Proper hydration during the hot summer months in San Antonio is so important. But most people don’t think about it during the workday. When we’re in an air-conditioned office, focusing on a million different tasks, staying hydrated often gets put on the back burner yet it’s one of the most important things we can do when visiting the break room.
Proper hydration helps boost metabolism and reduce daytime fatigue. Dehydration can lead to headaches, and decreased memory and can even reduce job productivity. By the time we feel thirsty, it’s already too late.
If a busy workday is keeping you and your San Antonio employees from drinking more water, don’t worry. Staying hydrated at work is easy with these tips:
Keep water at your desk
A bottle of water is a visual reminder to hydrate. For employees with desk jobs, this is the best way to stay hydrated at work. Staying hydrated can also reduce headaches that may be worsened by eye strain.
Take regular hydration breaks
We get so caught up in busy days that we sometimes forget self-care. A quick trip to the break room allows employees to grab a cold glass of water, or sip on a nice cup of coffee to relax their mind for just a moment. When break time is over, your body and mind will be ready to take on whatever work challenge comes your way.
Choose hydrating healthy snacks
Eating smaller meals of fruits and vegetables can help your employees stay hydrated and energized. Fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, cantaloupes or cucumbers, and leafy greens are nutritional powerhouses with a hydrating impact. With our in-house kitchen, we can provide healthy food and snack options, so your employees have these choices onsite.
Encourage employees to drink water
At meetings and throughout the workday, providing easy access to water and other healthier drinks can motivate employees to drink up and stay hydrated. When you opt for a healthy vending machine or a water filtration service at work, you can provide easy access to healthier, hydrating beverages.
Simply put, a busy work schedule shouldn’t keep your employees from staying hydrated. Help them by providing plenty of water throughout their day. Whether you want a plumbed-in system or individual bottles, we can help! Contact LC Vending today or call (210) 532-3151.
