💗 A Different Kind of Friday Post

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as we head into Thanksgiving weekend, we’re taking a moment to remember.

💗 Those who are living with breast cancer.
💗 Those who have completed treatment and are celebrating another Thanksgiving.
💗 The families and friends who have walked beside someone they love.
💗 And those whose place at the Thanksgiving table is now remembered with love.

This weekend is often about being thankful for the people gathered around our tables — but it can also be a time when we especially feel the absence of those who are no longer there.

So this Thanksgiving, we’re sending a little extra love to everyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer.

For those still fighting. For those who survived. And in memory of those we miss. 💕

From all of us at Gunning Physio Centre / Centre Hastings Physio, we wish you a peaceful Thanksgiving weekend.

🧡 Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, their families and their communities.

We recognize the importance of listening, learning and reflecting on our shared history and the ongoing journey toward reconciliation.
Every Child Matters. 🧡

💧 **So what should you actually drink?**

After a week of talking hydration, here's the big takeaway:

**Plain water is still the simplest choice — but it isn't the only fluid that counts toward hydration.**

☕ Coffee and tea can contribute to fluid intake.
🫧 Sparkling water can hydrate you.
🌿 Caffeine-free herbal tea counts too.
🍷 Alcohol is different and shouldn't be relied on for hydration.

And remember: something that **irritates your bladder isn't necessarily dehydrating your body.**

Sip fluids regularly throughout the day, drink more when exercise, heat or heavy sweating require it, and pay attention to how different drinks make *you* feel.

💬 **What's your go-to drink for staying hydrated?**

🌿 **Do herbal teas count toward hydration?**

Yes! Most caffeine-free herbal teas contribute to your daily fluid intake.

They can be a great option if you want something warm or simply want a little more flavour and variety.

But what about “detox” teas?

Claims that ingredients such as ginger or dandelion “detox” the body aren't supported by strong human evidence.

So enjoy your herbal tea for what it is — a warm, flavourful way to add fluids to your day. ☕
