More Tips

• Generally, nutritionists recommend as a guideline to drink at least eight 8 – ounce glasses a day. You may need more water if you exercise or sweat heavily or if the climate/ environment is hot.
• When you are low on fluids – and dehydrated, the brain triggers the body’s thirst mechanism. Sometimes this can get confused with hunger. So stop and think are you hungry or thirsty? More than often your body will require water.
• Include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. These contain high water content and will add to your hydration. Approximately 20% of our fluid – water intake comes from foods.
• Get in the habit of carrying water with you when possible – in your car, in your bag, at your desk etc.
