Happy New Year!

January is typically the time when a lot of people focus on their health after enjoying indulging in the festivities. One simple and effective way to be healthier is to stay hydrated.

 

The Facts

Our bodies are two-thirds water so it’s important to stay well hydrated! Keeping our bodies topped up is good for:

  • Digestion
  • Your Heart
  • Circulation
  • Temperature control
  • Your brain to work well

 

How Much Should I be Drinking?

On average you should be aiming to drink between 6-8 glasses of water and other liquids each day to replace normal water loss. Water, lower-fat milk and sugar-free drinks (including tea and coffee you’ll be glad to know!) all count.

 

Five Tips To Help You Drink More

Here are some helpful tips to get you drinking more:

  1. Set yourself a goal. For example, I’m going to drink three fills of my hydration bottle each day.
  2. Drink one glass of water before each meal.
  3. Always have a reusable bottle with you so you can fill it up wherever you are.
  4. Set reminders on your phone or smartwatch. Sometimes we get so busy, we forget to drink!
  5. Drink a glass of water when you wake up and one before you go to bed.
