TUCSON, AZ – The temperature in Arizona is up – way up. As spring weather moves in for a retreating winter, Arizona residents have to take extra precautions to stay safe in one of the hottest climates in the U.S. Proper hydration is one of the most essential factors in fighting desert heat, and Culligan Water is reaching out to its customers and neighbors to make sure hydration is on the top of everyone’s minds.
“The Arizona lifestyle is facilitated by its generous amount of sunlight and warmth,” says Rex Ruddick, general manager for Culligan Water of Tucson. “But residents of this region should be very aware of the dangers of dehydration, which can lead to everything from discomfort to even death.”
Just a two to five percent loss of fluid can lead to dry skin, muscle cramps, headaches and noticeable fatigue. Anything near 10 percent can dim your vision, cause seizures, shrivel your skin and could ultimately lead to death. Medical professionals are also quick to point out the long-term effects of dehydration can result in permanent damage to internal organs like the kidneys.
According to Ruddick, suitable fluid intake should become a part of every Arizonians daily routine.
“There is a reason a whole aisle at the grocery store is dedicated to water, people want good quality water because it tastes better and is better for you,” adds Ruddick. “The more you drink, the stronger and healthier you feel and the better prepared you are for the Southwest’s high temps. Here at Culligan, we have products that can give you great tasting water from the home faucet, keeping your body and wallet from overheating.”
