We often hear about exercise and diet when it comes to heart health, but one of the most overlooked factors is hydration. Your heart is constantly working—pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood daily—and staying properly hydrated reduces strain on your heart, improves circulation, and helps regulate blood pressure.

If you’re an active, entrepreneurial woman balancing a busy life, staying hydrated is a simple but powerful way to support your heart. Here’s why it matters, what to watch out for, and how to do it right.
How Dehydration Affects Heart Health
When you don’t drink enough water, your blood volume decreases, making it harder for your heart to pump efficiently. This can lead to:

Increased blood pressure – The body retains more sodium to compensate.
Higher risk of heart disease – Chronic dehydration can contribute to inflammation and arterial stiffness.
Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) – Electrolyte imbalances from dehydration can affect heart rhythm.
Fatigue & brain fog – Dehydration forces your heart to work harder, leading to low energy and poor focus.
Not All Beverages Are Created Equal
Many people assume that all liquids count toward hydration, but some beverages can actually dehydrate you or negatively impact your heart health.
