Hydration is a fundamental yet often overlooked aspect of human health. Water is the most abundant substance in the body, playing a crucial role in nearly all physiological functions, including circulation, digestion, temperature regulation, and waste elimination. Despite its significance, many individuals either fail to meet their daily hydration needs or consume fluids improperly, leading to health complications such as dehydration, kidney problems, and even cognitive decline.
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of hydration, covering the science behind water balance, the effects of dehydration and overhydration, daily hydration needs, and special hydration considerations for different groups of people. By the end of this course, learners will gain evidence-based knowledge and practical skills to optimize hydration for better health and performance.
