As a health-conscious person, you may be looking for more natural ways to control your health and overall well-being. We all know that drinking water is an important factor in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But do you know the reasons why water is so important? Drinking water can aid in a number of ways to improve your overall health, and target specific health concerns, such as weight control and keeping a youthful appearance. So, this week, we at Lindyspring Lake of the Ozarks are sharing with you 5 reasons you should be drinking more water. 

We've been so eagerly looking forward to the cooler temperatures, beautiful fall foliage, the return of pumpkin spice everything, and the knowledge that the strand of joyous holidays are approaching! But fall can bring on a bit of unwanted displeasure. Fall can be coupled with dry skin. So, this week, the best water treatment company at the Lake of the Ozarks is providing you with some tips on how to prevent dry skin during the fall and winter months.

1. Wash with Lukewarm Water
While it may be very tempting on those cooler mornings to wake up to a nice hot shower, this will dry out your skin. Washing with hot water removes natural oils from the skin and can cause skin to become drier. Wash with lukewarm water, not hot. It's also important to pay attention to the soaps you're using during this dryer season. Avoid shower gels with alcohols as one of the top ingredients because that'll steal extra moisture even before you step out of the shower. Another factor that could be causing dry skin is the hardness of your water. If you don't have a water softener in your home, the hard water you're showering in could be causing your skin to become dry because it's sapping the natural oils from your skin and hair.

2. Moisturize After Showering
Apply a moisturizer shortly after showering or bathing that contains ceramides to help lock in moisture. This season it's also especially important to read the labels on your bath and beauty products. To keep skin well-nourished, look for lotions or creams with oils and butters to provide moisture.

3. Avoid Using Drying Facial Products
When washing your face, use a gentle non-drying cleanser that contains glycerin. Skip the drugstore makeup remover wipes that contain alcohol and sulfates as they can irritate and dry the skin. And don't forget to amp up your hydration regimen. A great way to rehydrate your skin in the fall is by using a mask that has hydrating properties. Or you can go a step further and pamper your skin with a professional hydrafacial!

4. Stay Well Hydrated
It's typical that during the fall and winter you tend to become less active, and probably don't feel as thirsty as often as you do in the summer. But your body still requires just as much water to maintain a healthy balance. A good indication that your body isn't getting the amount of water it needs is if your skin starts to feel dry or look ashy and flakey. Ensure that you're providing the highest quality of water by getting a water treatment system installed in your home to prevent contaminants from getting in your drinking water.

By heeding this advice, you'll notice a significant difference in how your skin looks and feels this fall. So no matter what you're doing this fall, whether it's raking leaves, visiting a pumpkin patch, or enjoying some quiet time indoors in front of your fireplace, remember to enjoy a glass of refreshing, purified drinking water from your Lindyspring water conditioning system. By staying hydrated, you'll have better luck keeping your skin soft, supple and looking and feeling it's best all fall and winter long. If you don't have a water treatment system, we can help.

With the current health pandemic going on, staying your healthiest is top priority. One of the most important things you can do for yourself to improve your health is to drink plenty of water. It's even been said that drinking water is a natural elixir of life. But with all the hectic tasks of daily life and the fact that water is virtually tasteless, sometimes it's difficult to motivate yourself to drink the recommended daily amount. So, this week, Lindyspring Systems is offering 5 sneaky ways to increase your water intake.

1. Add Some Flavor
Meeting the recommended daily intake of water each day can seem like torture when every cup is tasteless. Add a bit of flavor by infusing fresh fruit, veggies, and/or herbs to your water. If you're on the run and don't have time to prepare an infused drink, you can also get the grab and go flavor packets from your local grocer and throw a few in your bag so you've got them with you wherever you go.

2. Sip Before Each Meal

Drinking 16 oz. of water before meals can help you lose weight. It helps to fill your stomach, making you feel fuller so you eat less during mealtimes. Just knowing that drinking up can help you eat less should be enough motivation to grab a glass. So next time you sit down for lunch with friends or co-workers, drink a glass of water before your server takes your order.

3. Use an App to Remind You

It's noon. How many glasses of water have you had so far? It's easy to lose track, especially when you're so busy at work and with other daily life activities. And unfortunately if you're not keeping track, you're risking the chance of dehydration. Keeping up with how many glasses you’ve finished can be easy with the help of a free app. Download a free water intake tracker app to your phone to keep track of how much water you've had. If you're not into downloading apps, you can always set a few alerts on your phone throughout the day to remind yourself to hit the water cooler.

4. Eat Water-Rich Foods

One sneaky way to increase the amount of water you consume on a daily basis is to eat foods that are water-rich. Add fruits and vegetables with a high water content to your grocery shopping list, such as cucumber, zucchini, watermelon, celery, and grapefruit. Not only will you be improving your health by eating your daily recommended amount of fruits and veggies, but you'll also be increasing your daily water intake without even thinking about it!

With the New Year just around the corner, many of us are beginning to plan our 2020 resolutions. The top resolution made each year? Improving health, whether it be by exercise, healthier eating, or life choice changes. Did you know the simplest way to encourage a healthy lifestyle is by drinking plenty of water? Clean water is an essential nutrient, the primary basis of all living organisms, and undoubtedly necessary to sustain life. When striving to achieve optimum health, consuming clean water should be at the top of your resolution list. Lindyspring Systems is sharing with you just a few of the health benefits water can help with!


1. Reduces headaches.
Did you know that dehydration is a common trigger for headaches and migraines? Dehydration causes blood volume to drop resulting in less blood and oxygen flow to the brain and dilated blood vessels. Studies have found drinking around seven glasses of water a day was enough to ease pain and improve the quality of life in patients who regularly suffer headaches.

2. Helps mental alertness.
Studies have shown that if you are only 1 percent dehydrated, you will likely have a 5 percent decrease in cognitive function. If your brain drops 2 percent in body water, you may suffer from fuzzy short-term memory, experience problems with focusing, and have trouble with math computations. Prolonged dehydration causes brain cells to shrink in size and mass. When the brain is fully hydrated, the exchange of nutrients and toxins will be more efficient—thus ensuring better concentration and mental alertness.


3. Benefits digestion.
It's not necessary to drink water to digest food, but it definitely helps. Water helps aid in proper digestion by helping to break down food so your body can absorb the nutrients. It also helps with preventing bloating and constipation. Another digestive perk is that water takes up space in the stomach. This means that drinking a glass of water before and during a meal can help you eat less.

4. Replenishes skin tissue.
Drinking water helps to deliver essential nutrients to skin cells and helps to maintain optimal skin moisture. It increases skin elasticity and helps delay the appearance of aging such as wrinkles and lines. Water aides as a natural anti-aging solution by keeping the skin hydrated and glistening, therefore enhancing the complexion.

A healthy you is a happy you, right? But in today's busy society, it's not always as simple as saying "I'm going to be healthy." Life gets in the way sometimes and we tend to forget to take care of ourselves first. To make it easier, keep this rule in mind: Maintain a healthy lifestyle by doing what is right for your body. Lindyspring Systems, the best water treatment company at the Lake of the Ozarks, has come up with 4 of the most important tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle right here.

1. Exercise Regularly

Regular exercise can improve your quality of life. Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Studies have shown that engaging in physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of certain diseases. If you're regularly physically active you'll have more energy, a better mood, feel more relaxed and sleep better. It's recommended to get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day.

Raise your hand if you've dealt with a sluggish, seemingly burned out employee recently. We can imagine that's probably about 90% of our business owner viewers. Now, raise your hand if you've come up with a solution to help your employees feel that way. Probably considerably less of you can say that. And that's okay. It's not always easy to know or come up with ways to help your employers feel healthier and, therefore, more productive. That's why we're giving you some tips for starting a water challenge!

Why a Water Challenge?
You're probably wondering 'how is this going to make my employees more productive?' or 'What on earth is a water challenge?'. Don't worry, we'll explain.

Recent studies have shown that drinking water can improve productivity by 14 percent! The reasons? Water eases dehydration and expands the brain's grey matter. According to the researchers, a thirsty person’s brain constantly sends the message of thirst to the body. Satisfying that thirst frees the brain’s attentional resources and improves a person’s ability to function, think and perform better. It also relieves dehydration that saps energy and creates tiredness.

Here are some of the great benefits you can expect from a Water Challenge:

• Eliminate toxins from your body
• Enhance metabolism and digestion
• Improve your energy levels
• Clear your mind and improve brain function
• Improve physical performance
• Clear your skin and make it look younger

Consider the Savings
Starting a water challenge can provide benefits beyond health improvements. Drinking only water for two weeks can free up unnecessary spending, that could in turn be causing your employees financial stress they may not even realize they have. While a $1.50 soda or a $2.99 coffee here and there may not seem like much, it adds up. If your employees are stopping every day to get their daily fix of caffeine, they could be spending roughly $1,100 a year on coffee! Imagine what kind of pressure that could eliminate on your employees financially!


Tips for Starting a Water Challenge
Now that we've fully convinced you that starting a water challenge is a smart choice for your business, it's time to get started! We've got some tips to get you going and how to engage and excite your team to get onboard:

1. Set the Rules
Before you bring this to the team, you may want to have a general idea of rules to follow to ensure everyone is participating fairly. Challenge everyone participating to drink at least 8 oz of water per working hour. So if they work an 8 hour day, they'll ideally consume 64 oz in that period. Designate a specific time frame - for example, the challenge will run for 30 days, the person to consume the most water at the end of the 30 day challenge wins! Each person will be accountable for keeping track of the ounces they drink. Pair off 'accountability' partners to give everyone a motivational partner.

2. Keep a Visual Scoreboard
Speaking of keeping track, let the team keep track of their water intake in a fun way. Get a white board and draw out a table. Color code by person and keep track of their total daily water intake. Having that visual representation will serve as a great reminder for them all to drink throughout the day, and it'll create some competitiveness! Bonus visualization: go to social media with your water challenge! Posting about their successes will likely keep them on track and more involved.

3. Make Water Easily Accessible to Your Staff
Buying or renting an office water cooler is a really affordable way to make water more accessible to your workers. Your workers will enjoy high quality hydration that they can be certain is safe to consume and will taste great as well. They will gain access to an endless supply of perfectly chilled drinking water. And it'll serve as a reminder of the importance of hydration. A simple water cooler can boost productivity and create the perfect workplace environment that everybody in the office will enjoy. pair this with a super awesome water bottle gift to each participant, and you'll be on the right track!

4. Provide Some Incentive
While it may seem like a no brainer that everyone would want to join in on this challenge simply to reap the health and savings benefits it'll provide, some folks may need a bit more motivation. Some ideas could be to have an end of challenge prize (ie: cash prize, gift card, 1 day PTO, etc) More people are likely to get involved if there's competition and a prize at the end.

It's no secret that one of the keys to staying healthy is to stay hydrated. Yet, roughly 75% of Americans still suffer from chronic dehydration. Health officials continue to emphasize the importance of proper hydration. And with summer officially beginning and the temperatures rising, it's even more essential to stay hydrated! So how can we take steps in the right direction to improve our health and hydration? Lindyspring Systems has come up with some simple, yet genius, ways to stay hydrated. Take a look:

Infuse your water

We get it, water alone can be pretty boring. Instead of opting for a flavor and sugar packed soft drink, opt for something more natural—like water infused with watermelon chunks and mint or orange slices. To fully fuse the flavors, combine the ingredients in a pitcher and let them sit for up to a day before drinking.

Include these juicy fruits and veggies into your everyday diet:

Cucumbers
Hydrate and replenish your skin with fresh cucumbers. In addition to containing 95 percent water, cucumbers are rich in anti-inflammatory compounds that help remove waste from the body and reduce skin irritation.

Iceberg Lettuce
Iceberg lettuce contains 95 percent water. That makes it a good hydrating base for your summer salad. However, if you prefer the heart-healthy benefits of leafy greens instead, spinach is a good alternative at 91 percent water by weight.

Celery
Celery will satisfy your craving for crunch. It’s also tied with cucumbers and iceberg lettuce at 95 percent water by weight. You can feel good about eating celery because of its low calorie count and high value in vitamin K, folate and potassium.

Watermelon
Watermelon flesh contains 91 percent water. This summer treat also contains abundant lycopene, which can help protect cells from sun damage and improve your complexion.

Strawberries
They’re sweet enough you can eat them for dessert. But the benefits of strawberries go beyond flavor and 91 percent water content. They provide a rich source of flavonoids, compounds associated with improved cognitive function.

Make water part of your diet plan

Did you know that whenever you feel hungry, your body is actually more than likely just craving water? Whenever you get that hungry pang, try drinking a glass of water as an appetizer. As a matter of fact, drink a glass of water before every meal to help lose weight. You'll not only fill your stomach, but prevent yourself from overeating.

Get a water filtration or purification system for your home

If the water source in your home isn't treated, your water probably doesn't taste very good. There could be contaminants such as chlorine or sulfur in your water. Bitter tasting water is often caused when the pH of your water is out-of-sync. By having a Lindyspring water treatment system installed in your home, you'll improve the taste of your water. Not only does filtered or purified water taste better, but it's more convenient and cost effective than buying bottled water. If it's more easily accessible, you'll be more likely to drink it.


There you have it! You now have several ways to fit water into your everyday lifestyle to improve your health and hydration. For tastier healthier water in your home, contact Lindyspring System today to get information on a water treatment system at the Lake of the Ozarks that will work best for your home. Our mission is to provide great water at the Lake and we're excited help you with your water treatment needs! Now grab that glass and fill it up - you've got some re-hydrating to do!

The fall season has so much to offer that many of us are eagerly looking forward to - cooler temperatures, beautiful fall foliage, the return of pumpkin spice everything, and the knowledge that the strand of joyous holidays are approaching!

When taking that extra step to enhance your lifestyle and promote a healthier you, it is easy to get worn down and feel drained. Its when you feel like this that you tend to push off your commitment to exercise and inevitably 'fall off the wagon'. While there are several things you could do to sustain your energy to keep going, there's a simpler, cheaper solution right at your fingertips: water. Water is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle with many benefits to help you keep going. Lindyspring Systems is sharing with you several ways that water can help benefit your workout, and help sustain your energy to keep you going strong.

The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoors doing all the things you love! But as the temperatures rise this summer, you need to be sure to pay close attention to one important aspect of your health: your hydration. So this week, Lindyspring Systems offers you some information on the signs of dehydration to watch for, as well as some tips to help keep your body hydrated throughout the hot summer days.

Signs of Dehydration

Most of us associate dehydration with muscle cramps, fatigue, and extreme thirst. While these are signs of dehydration, that's not the worst of it. If we don’t keep up with our water intake, especially in hot weather or while exercising, our thinking and cognition can suffer. Just a 2% reduction in body water weight can lead to problems with short-term memory, attention, and visual-motor tracking.

Other signs that you may be dehydrated include loss of appetite, dry mouth, mild constipation, and temporary lightheadedness. A good measurement of your level of hydration is the color of your urine. Pale urine indicates adequate hydration while darker colored urine is a sign that your body needs more fluids immediately.

Tips for Staying Hydrated

We know how important hydration is to our health, but the question remains, how do we increase our water intake without feeling water-logged or sprinting to the bathroom every five minutes? Here are a few simple tips to keep you hydrated.
2. Infuse with flavor - Whether you prefer limes, lemons, oranges, berries, or cucumbers, infusing your water with fresh fruit can make for a refreshing and spa-like beverage, without any added artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Not only will it give your water a little flavor to help with soda or juice cravings, you'll be more likely to drink more of it.

3. Eat your way to hydration - The good news is that only 70-80% of your daily hydration needs to come from water; 20-30% should actually come from food! All whole fruits and vegetables contain some amount of water, so snacking on something like watermelon, cucumbers or tomatoes can help make up some of the water your body needs.

Most of us look forward to all that the fall season has to offer - cooler temperatures, beautiful fall foliage, the return of pumpkin spice everything, and the knowledge that the holiday season is approaching! But it can also bring a not so fun factor that we DON'T look forward to this time of year: dry skin. We know the struggles, so that's why the best water treatment company at the Lake of the Ozarks is providing you with some tips on how to manage dry skin issues during the fall and winter months.
