We all know how important water is and we get told all the time that we need to drink more. Ideally, we should aim for 1.5-2 litres a day. Here are my tips to increase your water intake and why you should start now. It's very simple and the most important step to a better and healthier body and mind.

1. Buy a reusable bottle. Not disposable plastic. A nice one that you won't mind carrying around. Fill that bottle as much as possible and drink!
2. Dont forget there are foods that have a high water content too. Foods such as lettuce, celery and watermelon, can contibture to your daily water intake!
3. Add flavouring if you don't like the taste of water. Lemon, lime, orange, apples, berries or essential oils make a great addition. Top tip: freeze your fruit to add to your water, not only will it give you a flavour boost but it will also make it cold and refreshing!
4. Set a daily water intake goal and do your best to stick to that every day! There are apps you can get that will send you daily reminders to keep you on track.
5. Look at your pee. The yellower it is, the more dehydrated you might be. If it's pale, your on the right path. If it's dark, your forfeit, another glass of water!

bENEFITS OF INCREASING YOUR WATER INTAKE:

• The body is made of two third water.
• It's a vital nutrient to the life of every cell in your body
• Water is needed to regulate internal body temperature.
• It carries nutrients and oxygen into the cells.
• Lubricates and protects the joints, spinal cord and tissues.
• Keeps skin looking plump and luscious (honest).
• Aids with overall digestion.
• Water helps to excrete waste through perspiration, urination, and defecation.

Not all water is equal. We recommend drinking filtered water, if possible. Drinking filtered water offers numerous benefits for your health. It removes impurities and contaminants, ensuring that you consume clean and pure water. Filtered water also enhances the taste and odor of your drinking water, making it more enjoyable to consume, and it can even help improve digestion and promote overall hydration.
