Drink more water
Your body is made up of 60% water, drinking more water helps your body to work more efficiently. Think of a fish tank with the filter turned off – this is your body on the inside if you don’t drink enough water.
Evidence suggests a link between weight loss and drinking water. Why? Because you will eat fewer calories if you drink more water.
For energy, concentration and clearer skin!
Your digestive system relies on water and if you suffer from constipation this is especially important for you!
Set a target to drink 4 glasses a day – have a glass as soon as you wake up as you will be naturally dehydrated after a night’s sleep.
