National Hydration Day

To maintain the water balance necessary for well-being, on June 23, residents of the United States celebrate National Hydration Day. When leaving home on a hot summer day, take a bottle of clean drinking water with you.

History

The origin of this national day is connected with the game of football. The professional coach of the Victor Hawkins team created a special mouth guard to maintain water balance. Its use allowed the players to save energy and work actively on the field during the match. After the inventor’s death, the guard went on sale and became available to the public. The holiday was established in 2016.
