If you experience headaches, you’re not alone. Nine out of ten Americans suffer from them. Some are occasional, some frequent, some are dull and throbbing, and some cause debilitating pain and nausea. What do you do when you suffer from a pounding headache? Do you grit your teeth and carry on? Lie down? Pop a pill and hope the pain goes away?
There is a better alternative.
There’s one simple liquid that has a huge effect on how well your family feels today: water.
Yes, good old water. More than half of children and teenagers in the United States might not be properly hydrated, but even if they’re drinking water they’re still not getting the good stuff. In fact, 54.5% of the students in the study had urine concentrations that qualified them as below their minimum daily water intake. I was surprised to discover that almost one in four kids drank no water during the course of their day, according to the latest research. And get this: not all children and adolescents were equally dehydrated, according to the study. Boys surveyed were 76% more likely to be inadequately hydrated than girls, which was a statistically significant finding.
