Staying Hydrated and drinking enough water is so important, as it’s the easiest step you can make towards becoming your best self. Drinking water is such a simple thing yet so many of us don’t drink enough. Running your body with no water is like running your car with no oil, it just doesn’t function properly. Homeostasis is a term used which means keeping everything in equilibrium and if your body detects any changes which will throw it off, it makes adjustments to get back to normal.

A few of the many benefits of staying hydrated

MORE ENERGY

Being dehydrated by just a fraction makes us feel fatigued. Naturally boost your energy levels over time by sipping water. This will also increase your brain function meaning a more productive you!

BETTER SKIN

Water increases the micro-circulation in the skin leaving your skin glowing. Although the skin is one of the last places water goes to – (first it takes care of everything else). It’s important to stay hydrated everyday to see any changes!

FAT LOSS

For every 1g of carbohydrate we store in the muscle (as glycogen) we also store 3g of water. If there is no available water to be taken in with the glycogen then it can’t be stored. Therefore they may be stored in the fat tissue. Ensure you’re drinking with every meal

Hydration Tips

Get a BPA free plastic water bottle and carry it with you everywhere. Fill this up throughout the day. The ones with timings on them are really popular now. Maybe you could give on a try.
Make your water fun by adding fruit infusions. My favourite is lemon and cucumber, so simple yet so fresh.
Make sure you drink before, during and after working out
Have a glass of water before each meal
Ask for water when your eating out, its free and contains 0 added sugars and 0 calories

Remember to always drink extra water if you’re consuming alcohol as this will dehydrate you.
