Staying hydrated is undoubtedly the number one priority while participating in an ourdoor event. This means we must, not only have a reliable hydration bladder, but a clean one as well. Here is a quick 5 step-by-step guide on how to clean your hydration bladder.
Step 1: Remove your Bladder
This is probably quite self-explanatory. Just be sure that when you remove a bladder from the RaveRunner®, that you do so gently. Push the plastic neck in, from the outside, while you pull the bladder out of the access point simultaneously.
Step 2: Find a Clean Sink
That’s right, a clean sink! This is your opportunity to finally do those dishes that have been hanging out for a couple days now! I recommend giving your sink a scrub down as well. You may fumble your bladder cap into the sink, and you’d want that to be clean, right? Also, be sure to cover the drain so you don’t lose your nozzle!
Step 3: Fill it up with Soap and Hot Water
This part is easy, but can cause a mess if you are clumbsy. Put a little bit of dish soap into you bladder. Be careful as you don’t need THAT much to clean it thouroughly. Now turn on the sink and fill the bladder with water. I would say just until the bladder is about 3/4 of the way filled. You’ll need space to be able to shake the water around inside the bladder.
Step 4: Shake It!
Shake it! This will allow the soap to get in all the spots it usually wouldn’t be able to. If you can rub the walls of the bladder together, that would be even better. By doing this, you’ll scrape off any grime that has built up!
Although, we hope your bladder has never gotten this dirty.
Step 5: Let It Chill…Bro
Seriously, let it sit for 30 minutes. I usually find myself cleaning my hydration bladder an hour before I believe. This gives me time to scramble and shove everything in my suitcase. Go through your checklist. Wallet? Tickets? Snacks?
Step 6: Drain It!
Now, this part may SEEM easy, but I think I make a mess everytime. Instead of pouring all of the water out via the cap, Hold the entire bladder up high with one hand and hold the tube with the other. Remove the nozzle and let all of the water flow out of the tube. This will allow the tube to be cleaned by the soapy water. If you are having trouble doing this, no problem. Take the tube off of the bladder and clean it seperatley.
Step 7: Replace it in your Pack!
Take your time replacing your bladder back in your pack. With the RaveRunner®, it is super important that you push the bladder neck lip OVER the fabric. This will stop the bladder from falling through the access hole. Now your all set! Go have some fun, there’s a good chance you deserve it.

Music festival season is finally here, and with numerous shows to choose from, it is not unusual for some music fans to get excited and forget about the essential things that they should bring and do for them to enjoy the festivals to the fullest. For instance, dehydration is a common problem that people attending music festivals have to contend with, and failure to take deliberate steps to stay hydrated can have devastating effects your health and mood, and consequently, hinder you from having fun. With years of experience on the trails and festival grounds, we created a perfect gameplan for you to follow
Drink a lot of water (Duh…)
Drinking a lot of water is probably the most obvious way of staying hydrated. While beverages and food from outside may be banned in some events, almost every music festival allows you to bring in a hydration pack. Carry around a water bottle is not only annoying, but it’s old school. Start the day by drinking a lot of water and continue sipping as often as you can throughout the day.
Pro Tip: Don’t wait until you are thirsty to start drinking. Your body will actually tell you your thirsty way after you actually begin to become dehydrated.
Drink Electrolytes
There are many kinds of fruits that are largely comprised of water. Although fruits are great, most festivals allow you to bring in unopened packs of electrolytes. Throughout our ultramarathons, we have tested MANY different electrolytes to find out which ones settle well in our stomach and which ones taste well.
Liquid IV is our number one choice. Packed with all the micronutrients and some organic sugars to add some calories, you will be sure to never cramp up while busting out your best moves. If you want a smaller option, try Hammer Fizz tablets. They are small enough to fit in any pocket of your RaveRunner®!
Eat Veggies
Music festivals usually have a great variety of food vendors, and you will definitely find something tasty to eat. However, for the purpose of music festival hydration, it is wise to go for a nice healthy salad. Salads are an excellent option due to their nutritional value in addition to their ability to enhance your water intake. You also won’t have to deal with a super full stomach. Dancing with a bacon cheeseburger in your gut is not ideal. Cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, and other vegetables rich in water can go a long way in helping you to stay hydrated.
Avoid Alcohol
Music festivals are typically enormous parties complete with alcohols and other types of drugs. Although drinking alcohol is almost given for most people going to music festivals, it is one of the things you have to avoid if you want to stay hydrated. If you are not interested in dancing and you are planning just to sit around, you can have a drink or two (pace yourself!) However, if you want to dance and move around a lot, then you would better stick with your electrolyte filled RaveRunner®. You do not want to end up having to take a seat while your favorite artist is about to throw down.
Eat Fruits With Plenty Of Water
You are likely going to be constantly moving at the music festival; running around, hula hooping, and dancing. Therefore, it is wise you take sports drinks, also known as electrolytes, to stay hydrated. Electrolytes are also effective in keeping you balanced by maintaining the required levels of sodium in your blood. We usually plan for a smoothy run mid-way through the day.
Overall, it is apparent that dehydration is a major challenge encountered by people attending music festivals. Therefore, if you are planning to go to a music festival this summer, you have to take deliberate steps to ensure that your music festival hydration pack has what it takes to keep you hydrated and energetic throughout the event. If you are looking for an excellent music festival hydration park, the athletes and party enthusiasts at GenZ have you covered. We have a variety of top quality hydration packs designed for comfort, security, and class. Get in touch with us today for a customized hydration pack for you to attend music festivals in style.
You might be planning to attend a festival this summer, chances are you will use plastic while you’re at the event. But have you ever asked yourself where those plastics end up after the festival? I am sure you don’t because it is easy to just forget about it as soon as you toss it in the trash. It is ultimately up to you to use less plastic during an event, and these eye-opening statistics may sway you into using much less.
More than one million single-use plastic bottles were sold at one single music event in 2018. That was just one event! Imagine the magnitude of pollution caused just during that weekend. If all international events are taken into consideration, that means billions of plastic bottles were disposed of. The plastics find their way to the ocean and agricultural land and takes millions of years to decompose. Burning of the bottles as a means of disposing results to pollution of the atmosphere as they release greenhouse gases.
Now we must say, there have been many event promoters aiming to ban single-use plastics. One promotional company leading the way is LiveNation, which hosts some of the largest festivals in the world. The promoters leading the green movement hope to ban the use of single-use plastics by 2021. the ban includes plastic straws, food trays, and water bottles.
There are many alternatives to reducing environmental pollution; here are a few suggestions to reduce plastic waste.
Bring a Hydration Pack
The Sustainable Concerts Working Group (SCWG) which is a multiplatform agency for artists including the notable Jack Jackson and his team came up with the BYOBottle (Bring Your Own Bottle) idea which aims at reducing the number of one-use plastics in events and festivals. The idea promotes the use of reusable water bottles and hydration backpacks. The organization also encourages music venues to promote a green environment by providing refill stations for fans, and recycling bins for those who wish to continue using one-use bottles.
The Sustainable Concerts Working Group (SCWG) is an organization that collects music industry leaders who promote environmental sustainability in the community through music. The organization brings together music artists, venues, festival promoters, and fans to do their part in creating a green environmental movement. The organization perspective is to be a global coalition that promotes environmental awareness.
Use of plant-based water bottles
LiveNation plans to test plant-based water bottles this year in Europe as a means of environmental sustainability. Most European festivals are already committed to ditching single-use plastic bottles. The plant-based bottles are biodegradable and cause little to no effect on the environment, unlike the plastic water bottles. Plant bottles can be made into cooler shapes for aesthetic appeal.
Ban on the use of straws during music festivals
We have seen a big push in the use of metal straws lately, and it’s for a good reason. Straws are very small in size compared to other plastic materials such as bottles, but they cause environmental pollution nonetheless. I am sure many of you have seen the infamous video of a sea turtle getting a straw ripped out of his nose. If festivals ban the use of straws, although it wouldn’t make a huge difference, it will bring us one step closer to resolving the plastic overuse problems.
Artists and fans are encouraged to be passionate about environmental conservation. Advocacy should start at home where you can speak with your local stores that host festivals to embrace the green environment initiative. This includes other environmental practices such as the use of recyclable packaging materials and bagging options. The more businesses that embrace going green, the more we will save the environment from both the soil and air pollution.
Involve the government in the conservation of the environment
Government agencies can create campaigns that are desired to reduce the use of plastics; most countries have enacted regulations that reduce the over-reliance on plastics. Some have banned completely the packaging of goods using plastic materials. The recent London marathon saw the use of capsules that can easily decompose; the capsule membrane is made of decomposable algae material.
Use take out utensils
Yes, this may sound crazy, but if you can remember to bring a fan, chapstick, and sunscreen, you can remember to bring biodegradable/reusable utensils with you. When attending festivals you live on a minimalist lifestyle. So this shouldn’t be hard to do! this is one of the ways of having an eco-friendly nomad lifestyle.
As the world continues to find a solution to plastic waste. festival attendees remain some of the highest consumers. Celebrities, together with government officials, are working towards enact laws that reduce the wastes to the environment to minimize pollution as possible. The environmental impact already indicates that it is omnipotent for plastic pollution to be reduced for the benefit of the environment.
With minimum pollution, the ecosystem is well maintained; this includes a reduction in littering of the marine system that results in the thriving of the fish. Plastic pollution has led to the death of whales that eat plastics as well as other animals that choke from plastic pollution. Moreover, the plastic damage to the agricultural soils leading to poor agricultural yields and unsustainable food production.
Efforts to reduce plastic pollution in the environment during festivals can create a great impact on the environment. Artist, together with social groups and government agencies, can play an important role in reducing the number of bottles that get to the sea.
By bringing a hydration pack, packing your own utensils, and simply choosing to not use plastics, your festival footprint will decrease enormously. Chances are you will be rewarded with good Karma for the next event you attend. Which is what all of us cannot get enough of!
Proper hydration ensures that your body system is functioning correctly. With all the side effects of dehydration, you probably have a measure to ensure you stay hydrated. On your everyday schedule, you may have adopted a hydration routine, but it might not apply when you are going out for music festival. A music festival can disrupt your usual cautionary hydration strategy, exposing you to the dangers of dehydration.
With all the physical exertions as you show off your sweet dance moves, you lose a lot of fluids. What’s more, if the music festival is held outdoors, the heat further accelerates the dehydration rate. As a measure to avoid dehydration, you carried your water bottle, but the real question is how much water you should drink at a music festival to stay hydrated?
Regular water sips may not cut it since you are likely to forget as you get excited by your favorite band playing. As such, you need to observe extra measures to ensure you are consuming the right amount and top it with other options such as electrolytes and water-rich fruits and vegetables.
Here is a look at some tips to help you stay hydrated at a music festival:
Listen To Your Body
Apart from feeling thirsty, you could be getting lightheaded, dizzy, cranky, or notice that you are sweating a lot as you enjoy music. This is a clear sign that you need to hydrate, and a hydration pack is your best option (it will keep your from having to wait in long lines or navigate the crowd to purchase water bottles as frequently. Drink as much as you can, but not too much that you have to hit the restroom after every few minutes.
Be Mindful Of Your Coffee & Alcohoic Beverage Intake
Coffee and alcoholic beverages are typical at a music festival. As you consume your favorite option, remember that they are not the best fluids to keep you hydrated. Alternate the drinks with 12 ounces of water to ensure that you do not get dehydrated. Apart from staying hydrated, alternating the drinks with water helps to reduce hangovers the following day.
Keep the electrolyte balanced
Electrolytes such as potassium, in large enough quantities, shield your body from dehydration. What’s more, potassium helps to attain fluid balance and reduce high heart rate that is caused by thickening of the blood. With all the physical activities as you enjoy the music festival, this could see your fun cut short. Regular water sips help keep your body hydrated while fruits and vegetables such as avocados are vital in maintaining proper electrolyte levels. Apart from the water-rich fruits and vegetables, you could go for soup.
Check the color of your urine and avoid sugar
Your kidney produces more urine to bring down the sugar levels in the bloodstream, which leads to loss of fluids. If you consume sugary things, it will accelerate the dehydration rate. Light yellow urine is an indicator that your hydration is at the right level. However, if you notice that it is darker, maybe it looks like apple juice, you need to hydrate. With proper hydration, you are likely to visit the restroom after every 2 hours or less.
Keep in mind that you need more than the usual water intake if you are actively involved in a music festival. On a typical day, if you consume 100 ounces, doctors recommend you take 150 ounces or double the amount during such a day replenish the fluids lost through perspiration as you go all out on the dance floor. With all the sweating and burning calories, which demand more water, you can quickly become dehydrated.
Are you constantly checking if you still have your money, wallet or phone at a festival? Do you have problems deciding what to carry and what to leave at the hotel because you don’t have enough space? We have all been there before…
These issues are solvable by getting a backpack with secret compartments. Not many backpacks, let alone hydration packs, have secret pockets on them. Investing in one would be a wise decision so that you can enjoy any event with peace-of-mind knowing that your valuables are safe!
Here are all the benefits that come along with a backpack that has hidden stash pockets.
1.) Safety
What is your or your mom’s number one concern when you are attending an event? Your personal safety, of course! Theft is a huge issue not only at festivals but all over the world. At GenZ, we have developed a product that makes your experience safer. Let your mom be at ease knowing that we have your back! Most of these hydration packs have a theft-proof design such as the anti-theft hydration pack.
Apart from theft, it is very common for people to drop their possessions while dancing or jumping around. Backpacks with secret compartments and anti-theft backpacks are beneficial because they come with a compartment where these items cannot fall out. In fact, with the RaveRunner®s secret back pocket, your back actually blacks anything from coming out of the pack!
2.) Bonus Points: Your Hydration Pack Has Secret Pockets
With an anti-theft hydration pack, you are not only getting secret compartments, but you are also getting a way to stay hydrated while adventuring. Carrying a water bottle around is so old school and will get annoying at some point. It is downright uncomfortable to constantly be clutching a piece of plastic. Additionally, the impact of plastic waste at music festivals is becoming a growing concern.
With most attendees consuming alcohol during a festival, hydration becomes vital. Dehydration begins before you even start to feel thirsty. It is a no-brainer to buy a hydration pack for a rave or other festival which has secret pockets to ensure you have enough water with you and your valuables are safe.

Yes, your backpack may have great storage. BUT backpacks with secret compartments provide even more storage options. You can carry your laptop and other large items while still having space to put smaller things that won’t fall to the bottom of your pack. You can keep your personal belongings, such as jewelry, phones, passports, and money in your backpack’s secret pockets.
Having an anti-theft hydration pack is ideal for securing your possessions. You do not have to leave essential things at home because of any storage problems, hydration packs with secret pockets have you covered. Fill your backpack, have a blast, don’t worry! We even have suggestions on what to take to a music festival.
4.) Easy Access
During a festival, in the age of Instagram, it is vital to have easy access to something like your phone. Does your festival bag have pockets that offer easy access to your wallet, money, ID or any other possession? Having secure pockets on your straps is one of the best ways for you to remove things directly without other people seeing what else is inside your backpack. Plus, having these items on your chest makes it incredibly difficult to be pickpocketed without you knowing… But easier for you to buy beer because you don’t have to shuffle through your belongings because they are now securely on your chest.
5.) Excellent Organization
A backpack without secret pockets will force you to keep everything in the main compartment. This will become super frustrating when attempting to pull certain things out of your pack. Right now, if you wanted to find something in your one-compartment backpack you would have to take it off, place it on the ground, and dig around until you found what you need. With an anti-theft hydration backpack, like the RaveRunner®, you don’t even need to take your backpack off to find your valuables.
It is essential to know where to access your phone, wallet, and money, among others, to have a peaceful experience.
When the GenZ team attends festivals we designate each pocket for different things. The hidden shoulder strap pocket is always where we put keys, ChapStick, and other very tiny items. The hidden back pocket is where we put our wallet, cash, ID, and our ticket (if it is not a wristband)
6.) EL Wire Attachment
At music festivals, for example, we have seen many people add light up string wire to their packs. Having a hidden pocket gives users the ability to stash the battery inverter in a convenient spot, rather than just tossing it into a giant compartment.
EL wire is a stylish and fashionable way to improve your rave outfit. Do not limit your fun with a plain old hydration pack. Buy an anti theft hydration pack and brighten your night while securing your personal possessions.
7.) Save time & money
Between not having things stolen, not dropping money on the ground, and not having to leave the crowd to dig around your bag, you will save yourself plenty of money and time. An anti theft hydration pack like the RaveRunner® is competitively in priced with other hydration packs on the market. It is a no-brainer to purchase a product with added benefits that is the same price!
8.) You’ll look sleek and fashionable
Instead of looking like a turtle and having all items sink to the bottom of your pack, secret compartments allow you to spread out where all items reside in your pack. This will come in handy when running around a crowd. It is easy for a backpack to get caught on other people when it bulges off of your back. With an anti theft hydration pack like a RaveRunner®, that won’t happen.
Conclusion
If one of these eight benefits doesn’t personally help you, another one will. From being organized to staying hydrated and safe. Getting a backpack with hidden pockets or an anti theft hydration pack will provide you with a much more enjoyable experience for your next rave, travel plan, or hike!

Riot Ten spins it a little differently with his mix’s vs. his sets. His sets are harder, heavier, and a tad slower paced. With this mix especially, he works to keep the BPM up and has some awesome mashups.
Wavedash is the creator behind many of the sounds you hear headliner DJ’s like Slander play. If I didn’t tell you this is Wavedash, you would easily mistake it for a Riot Ten liveset.

If you have never listened to a Svdden Death set, you are in for some entertainment, and headbanging. His songs are being played by everyone.

If you go to any sports store and ask for electric light powder, you are more than likely to be handed a packet with 20g of sugar. Most people believe that sugar is a source of high energy, which it is. The problem with sugar (for me at least) is that it causes energy highs followed by serious energy lows. You can argue that you can just continue to slurp down sugar drinks to keep the highs coming, but after a while, your stomach will begin to turn upside down. Let’s not even get into the fact that some ultra-runners are becoming diabetic from the amount of sugar they are consuming.
I am a heavier runner. Heavier as in I practice upper-body powerlifting. I am approx. 183LBS. and 5’10.75″. I am by no means overweight, but with running ultras, I need to have an extremely low body fat composition to compete with the less muscular, faster individuals. To cut weight this season I turned to a no-sugar diet, and seriously decreased my alcohol consumption. While I experimented with a no-sugar diet this spring, I quickly found the great benefits that came along with it. As we moved into the summer months I began my search for an electrolyte powder that did not contain any sugar. I took to the Trail and Ultrarunning group on Facebook and was plastered with overwhelming support and recommendations.
Here I am detailing my experiences with sugar-free electrolytes and a review of my top 3. *All testing of electrolytes was done on a 16-mile road run with nothing but 16-ounces of coffee in my stomach.*
Ultima was recommended by just one person, but it was relatively cheap, so I figured why not try it. They had a bunch of different flavors which made them stand out from the rest. I was attracted to this because after 80 hours of running I tend to get very sick of repetitive flavors. Overall, I do not think I will purchase again. For the sole reason that it hurt my stomach! This may just be a problem with my stomach, so I still encourage you to try it! Pros: Plenty of flavors, tastes great, high in micro-nutrients compared to other powders Cons: Hurt my stomach slightly
2.) UCAN HYDRATE
UCAN is great because it was made by a great company. Go to their website and you will find plenty of science and studies that back their product. This is what ultimately sold me, I was able to trust these people. I felt very nutritionally equipped with this electrolyte. There were a few downfalls though. The first being the aftertaste. It wasn’t just a usual after-taste, it was one of those stick-to-your-tongue aftertastes. I stored these mixtures in two soft flasks that were mounted in my chest pockets. With storage on your chest, it is inevitable that the mixture will shake a lot. Unfortunately, I found that when UCAN is shaken, it begins to foam up. This was a problem as I drank the foamy mixture and began to burp. Burping while running is never fun.
Pros: Great nutrition, good company.
Cons: Bad after taste, foamy
1.) LMNT
This stuff is THE BEST. First off, the taste. It’s like a saltier, less sweet, lemon-lime Gatorade. It was exactly what I was looking for. This powder DID NOT foam up either which was a game-changer. The amount of magnesium was impressive. In case you were wondering, magnesium helps your body absorb the salt. Can I also say the packaging is seriously underrated? Instead of being that annoying straw/tube length, it was more like a rectangle. These fit perfectly into the shoulder pocket on my RaveRunner® Hydration Pack. I have ONE minor complaint. When mixing this electrolyte drink while eating Cheez-It’s (my favorite trail snack) I experience an awful taste. BUMMER. Whatever, I will continue to order this product until it proves me wrong. Thanks, LMNT!
Pros: Taste amazing, no foam, convenient packaging.
Cons: Expensive, taste bad with Cheez-It’s
After breaking out of my comfort zone, I am pleased to say the no-sugar diet is a success. With the help of the running community, I was able to find the perfect electrolyte mixture that allowed me to continue my sugar-free lifestyle. I highly recommend that you try this as well, especially if you are someone that struggles with stomach issues during races! If you have any other recommendations, please feel free to drop them in the comments below.

Ryan is an Ultra-marathon runner, music festival enthusiast, MX rider, snowboarder, and overall outdoor adventurer.
Music festivals are a place where we go to escape all the stress in our lives. Festivals are a place to make new friends & have amazing experiences. A place to enjoy hours upon hours of music that gives us goosebumps, & an outlet for self-expression.
There are very few places that offer the kind of acceptance and whimsy that music festivals do.
The Growth of Festivals & The Rise of Theft
Music festivals are growing. The total number of attendees, the number of events, & ticket prices are all growing. Many of these festival-goers are leaving festivals with fond memories and a smile on their face. Yet there is a growing issue. The festival community has been plagued by an ever-growing issue: THEFT. A study by Cooney & Conway suggests that as many as 1 in 7 music festival-goers will be stolen from… And that number is increasing. The people who are committing these acts of crime are certainly wrong, but they have found the perfect place to execute their wrongdoing. The stage is set perfectly for them (quite literally). They have tons of cover due to the size of the crowd; they know people are often in an inebriated state or they are very distracted by their favorite act on the main stage.
Large crowds of people are mushed together, constantly touching shoulders, backs, arms, legs, etc. of other peers. It has caused attendees to become desensitized when they are touched because it has become expected when they are in large crowds. Combine this with a laser focus on their favorite act, and they are a prime target for a pickpocket. Then the night falls and darkness gives the pickpocket an added layer of cover to potentially steal your phone that is worth a couple of hundred dollars on the black market… Even if it is cloud locked.
With all events factored in, this is a thief’s dream. They can stick their hand in your pocket or backpack without you having any idea. While some people like to say they are always protecting themselves against theft, it is almost inevitable that they or someone they know will have something stolen. These thieves have tactics that thwart the most guarded attendees and the police presence on site. By traveling in a pack and armed with a systematic plan from the minute they walk into the festival to the minute they walk out they are able to leave with $8,000 worth of festival-goer valuables to be sold for a profit. In a recent article about thieves running rampant at FireFly Music Festival 2019, some attendees were able to recover their possessions with the aid of the local police department. Although most wear not able to recover their phones and other possessions.
Relentless Beats & GenZ Unite To Stop Theft at GoldRush Music Festival
GenZ, outdoor gear and apparel start-up, is here to help. The team of athletes and festival goers became aware of this problem and saw other areas where festival-goers could also elevate their experience. Launching this past March GenZ released the RaveRunner® hydration pack. The RaveRunner® is an anti-theft, fully customizable & easily re-fillable hydration backpack with tons of other bells-and-whistles included ranging from a solar panel charger to a sound reactive disco ball known as under-glow, to easily threaded EL wire. With raving reviews, the RaveRunner® has quickly become known as the ultimate festival hydration pack. At GenZ we do not want to limit our help through just a product, but rather to spread awareness of this on-going issue.
In April, Jason Euler, the partnership manager at Relentless Beats, a leader in dance music promotion reached out to GenZ. Jason asked about the possibility of a partnership stressing that Relentless Beats had to hire more security due to the growing issue. Previous efforts such as going cashless with RFID wristbands have greatly helped, but thieves were targeting phones, small electronics, and attendees were still bringing their wallets with credit cards. Jason stressed that theft is an ongoing problem and partnering. Through partnering with GenZ both brands look to increase the experience that festival-goers are seeking. We were honored and found this to be the perfect opportunity to run a strong awareness campaign to our fellow festival-goers. As well as align with a company that prioritizes its fans and their experiences above all else. Over the past couple of months, GenZ and Relentless Beats crafted a campaign “to take a strong stance against theft,” said Euler. With sponsoring the upcoming Goldrush Music Festival in late September, GenZ and Relentless Beats will be running a marketing campaign to raise awareness about this problem and how to have a more enjoyable experience. “At GenZ we believe that all festival-goers are entitled to nothing short of an amazing time. That is what we are here to do,” said Ryan Lange, the founder of GenZ.” Whether you are wearing a RaveRunner® or not, we want to make sure that you are carefree and safe,” said Lange.
With the ever going problem of theft on the rise, Relentless beats and GenZ are here to begin to turn the tide and take steps to put these thieves totally out of business. This is our community, our home, our festival, and it’s our obligation to run these pickpockets out of town,” Lange exclaimed.
Everyone is at risk of suffering from dehydration if they don’t get enough water. About 75% of your body is made of water hence you cannot survive without it. Children and older adults are likely to be more affected by the condition. Athletes and individuals at higher altitudes have higher chances of being dehydrated. How do you know that you or someone that you love has dehydration? Here are the signs that you should look out for. They may vary depending on the age of the individual.
Symptoms of Dehydration in Adults
Thirst
Dehydrated adults may feel thirsty and hungrier than usual. It is an indication that your body craves more water. If you have high body weight, you should take more water often because you are more likely to suffer from dehydration.
Less Frequent Urination and Dark-Colored Urine
You can tell if you are dehydrated or not by observing how often you urinate. If you are doing it fewer times than normal, you need to drink water. Additionally, dark yellow or amber urine shows that you need to hydrate. Usually, people who are hydrated enough have light urine.
Fatigue
Tiredness is also among the signs and symptoms of dehydration. When the amount of water in your body is low, you will feel exhausted even when you are resting. This is due to the low blood pressure that is caused by the condition. Drinking more water helps to raise your energy levels; enabling you to feel less fatigued.
Confusion and Reduced Brain Function
Dehydrated individuals tend to be unfocused. You are likely to be less alert if your body lacks enough water. Concentrating on tasks at hand becomes difficult, and you may start forgetting things. With these symptoms, you may cause accidents while driving or perform poorly at work.
Change in Moods
Have you had mood swings lately? You may be dehydrated, and drinking water can help to change that. Research shows that dehydration often leads to feelings of anxiety, depression, and even tension, especially when you are around people. You may also be highly irritable.
Dizziness and Nausea
If you are feeling dizzy and nauseous, you should probably check the last time you took a glass of water. Nausea might lead to vomiting, and this makes it even more life-threatening because it causes more loss of water. It is usually a result of low blood pressure that is caused by reduced water levels in the body.
Constipation
This is a common sign that you are dehydrated and it worsens with time if you don’t drink water. Your stool will be dry and hard; you might even feel pain when defecating. This is because water is necessary for quality food digestion. It also eases waste movement along your digestive tract.
Rough or Drier Skin
A dehydrated individual has rough or flaking skin. Other signs of dehydration that you can observe on your skin to know if you need water include flushing/redness and tightening. If your lips have been cracking, it is also an indication that you should hydrate.
Signs of Dehydration in Infants and Young Kids
Dry Diapers for Three Hours
If your baby’s diaper has been dry for three or more hours, he or she is suffering from dehydration. They may also cry when defecating. Furthermore, their stool may be hard and bloody due to bruising of the anal canal.
Dry Lips and Tongue
This is another symptom that you should look out for in young children to know if they are dehydrated. Their mouth is drier than usual. Their lips may also be cracking.
Irritability
Healthy, hydrated children are jovial. If you notice that your young one is irritable, it might be because they are not getting enough water. They may also cry a lot but with a little or no tears at all.
Drowsiness
To notice that your child has been sleeping more than usual, you must have observed their sleeping pattern. Their excess sleepiness maybe as a result of lack of enough energy to stay awake due to dehydration.
Fever
High fever in kids shows that they are dehydrated. This might make them uncomfortable. Consequently, this prevents them from concentrating on what they are doing. It might also keep them from playing with other kids.
Dehydration, in both adults and children, is caused by different reasons. Here are some of them:
Vomiting or Diarrhea
These are some of the most common dehydration causes. You may vomit or suffer from acute diarrhea because you are unwell. During such instances, you lose a lot of water, and unless you start drinking fluids, the condition worsens.
Excessive Sweating
Dehydration occurs when you sweat a lot. It might be because you are engaging in rigorous activities without taking time to drink enough water. Fevers are also known to increase sweating in the human body. To prevent dehydration due to sweating, make sure that you replace fluids that you lose after exercises or other activities. You can do this by taking sports drinks.
High Altitudes
If you move to places with higher altitudes, you may be dehydrated. Your body acclimates by increasing the times you urinate and speeding your rate of breathing. This means that you lose more water than normal. Should you forget to take water regularly, you are likely to have dehydration.
Breastfeeding
Mothers who are breastfeeding may get dehydrated. When a woman breastfeeds her baby, she loses proteins, minerals as well as water from her body. That is why a mother is encouraged to drink more fluids to stay hydrated.
Increased Frequency of Urination
For several reasons, you may be urinating more frequently than the usual. It could be because of uncontrolled diabetes. It might also be due to alcohol consumption since it is an antidiuretic hormone inhibitor. Furthermore, there are some types of high blood pressure medications and diuretics that can increase the number of times that you urinate in a day.
Pregnancy
This can be a cause of dehydration. Pregnancy comes with increased cardiac output and blood volume; that increase your fluid needs. Furthermore, morning sickness causes nausea that leads to vomiting. Unless you increase your fluid intake while pregnant, you are likely to get dehydrated.
Easy Dehydration Tests
The Nail Capillary Refill Test
Whenever you pinch the bed of your nail, it is supposed to whiten or blanch because blood has been forced out. If you are hydrated, the blood is supposed to return in at most two seconds. However, if you are not, it may take more time to go back to your nail’s normal shade.
The Turgor Test
You can also use the skin elasticity test to know whether or not you are dehydrated. To do it, pinch your arm’s or stomach’s skin, gently, to make a “tent-like” shape, then let it go. If it returns to its normal position in three or fewer seconds, you are alright. If it takes more time, you might be dehydrated. Dehydration is a dangerous condition that is caused by excessive body fluid loss. It may lead to irritability, fatigue, cracking skin, lack of focus and even some severe conditions like kidney stones. To prevent it, ensure that you drink water regularly.
Water is vital for good health, but needs vary from one person to another. If you have been wondering how much water you should drink every day, these guidelines can help. Hydration is a key part of staying healthy, especially during physical activity.
No single formula suits everybody. However, understanding your body’s requirement for fluids can help you estimate the amount of water you should drink daily and ensure one is able to stay hydrated.
What are the Health Benefits to Drink Water?
Water makes up around 60% of your overall body weight. The human body relies on water to survive. Adequate hydration allows your body cells, tissues, and organs to work correctly. For instance, water:
Removes waste via urination, sweating, and bowel movements.
Helps to keep your body temperature healthy.
Guards sensitive tissues in the body.
Lubricates and cushions your joints.
Insufficient water intake can cause dehydration. It is a condition whereby your body lacks sufficient water to function correctly. Even mild dehydration may drain you of energy and leave you feeling tired.
How Much Water Should You Drink Every Day?
Each day, your body loses water via breathing, perspiration, urination, and bowel movements. Therefore, you need to replenish its water supply daily by consuming fluids to maintain proper body function.
How much fluid should the average healthy adult staying in a temperate climate take? According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, sufficient daily fluid intake is:
Around 15.5 cups/3.7 liters of fluids for males.
Around 11.5 cups/2.7 liters of fluids for females.
Those recommendations cover the fluids from pure water, other drinks, and food. Approximately 20% of daily fluid intake typically comes from food and the remainder from beverages.
It is highly likely that you have heard the advice to drink eight glasses of water daily. Though this is a reasonable goal, for some people, taking fewer glasses every day may be adequate. But other individuals may require more. Most healthy persons can remain hydrated by consuming water and other fluids whenever thirst kicks in.
Which Factors Influence Water Needs
You may want to modify your overall fluid intake depending on several variables:
Physical Exercise: If you engage in any physical activity that leads to sweating, you have to up your water intake to prevent dehydration. It is essential to consume water before, during and after participating in a workout session. If the activity is intense and lasts for over one hour, a sports drink can help to replace the minerals your body lost through sweating.
Environmental Conditions: Hot, humid weather causes the body to sweat more. As a result, extra fluid intake is necessary. Dehydration is also possible at high altitudes.
Medical Conditions: The body loses fluids whenever you have a fever, are vomiting, or dealing with diarrhea. In such a case, consume more water or follow your doctor’s recommendation to take oral rehydration solutions. A bladder infection, urinary tract infections, and kidney stones may also necessitate increased water intake.
Pregnancy or breast-feeding: When a woman is pregnant or nursing a baby, she needs extra fluids to remain hydrated. According to the Office on Women’s Health, pregnant women should drink around 10 cups/2.4 liters of fluids a day, whereas breastfeeding mothers should consume approximately 13 cups/3.1 liters of fluids daily.
Other Sources of Hydration
You do not have to depend on tap water or bottled water to meet your hydration requirement. The food you eat also provides a substantial portion. For instance, many fruits and vegetables like watermelon and spinach are nearly 100% water by weight.
Additionally, drinking fluids like milk, juices, and herbal tea have high water content. Even caffeinated drinks, e.g., coffee and soda, can contribute to a person’s daily water intake. However, water is your best bet as it is free of calories, cheap and readily available.
The only time you should take sports drinks is when you are exercising at high intensity for at least an hour. Those drinks are intended to replace the body’s electrolytes lost through sweat and sugar required for energy during longer exercise sessions.
Energy drinks are not the same as sports drinks. An energy drink generally isn’t formulated to replace minerals (electrolytes) and contains typically high levels of caffeine, sugar and other additives. Needless to say, these don’t help maintain optimal levels of hydration.
How to Stay Properly Hydrated
Your daily fluid intake is probably enough if:
It is rare for you to feel thirsty. Your urine is light yellow or completely colorless.
A physician can help you determine the water amount that is appropriate for you each day. To avoid dehydration and ensure your body has the fluids it requires, you should try to make water your drink of choice. It also helps to:
Consume a glass of water or another low-calorie drink with every meal and between meals.
Take water before, during, and after a workout.
Drink water when you feel hungry. Sometimes thirst is confused with hunger.
While it is not very common, there is such a thing as drinking too much water. When the kidneys are unable to get rid of the excess water, it can lead to hyponatremia. It is a life-threatening condition in which the blood’s sodium content is diluted.
