Optimal hydration is the corner stone of a strong immune system, and therefore your overall wellbeing. Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn't have enough water and other fluids. If you don't replace these lost fluids you will become dehydrated and likely will experience symptoms of physical and mental impairment to many normal bodily functions.

Exercise can be as simple as walking for 30 minutes, 3 times a week. Or for those of us who prefer a more active and strenuous approach to exercise, the consequence can cause muscle soreness which leads us to shy away from it (discussed later in this article). Should the body work particularly hard, we can even experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which can leave us feeling significant pains for days after.
