Hydration Matters

During the Middle East’s scorching summer months, hydration has been identified as a top health concern, especially throughout the fasting hours of Ramadan. More than ever, it’s important to be actively aware of how much essential fluid your body is getting, as failure to do so could result in dizziness, severe migraines, nausea, confusion, weakness, plus other dangerous illnesses.
