This is a question I always ask clients during a consultation as a lot of the time, what is ailing them, can be attributed, albeit partly, to the fact they aren't drinking enough water.
2 interesting facts;
- The body is roughly 70% water
- The brain can be made up of around 90% water!!!
If you feel thirsty, drink, as you are already showing the initial signs of dehydration. The amount we each require varies from person to person, but if your pee isn't mostly clear, you need to increase your water intake. If you don't like the taste of plain water add a slice of orange,lemon or lime, try some fresh mint leaves or even watermelon. Avoid fruit cordials which are loaded with unhealthy sugars, chemicals and what have you.
10 benefits of drinking more water;
- Increased energy, relief from tiredness, increases your focus & concentration
