Staying hydrated in perimenopause and menopause is important for many reasons including:

• Moisturizing your skin, improving facial wrinkles, and preventing dryness and itching.
• Softening stools and stimulating bowel movements.
• Lowering blood pressure, improving blood circulation and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Improving memory and concentration, and preventing brain fog.
• And balancing blood sugar.
