We’re all drinking our 2 litres of water every day, right?
Our body is composed of about 60% water. In hot weather, we will naturally increase our water intake but when the weather turns colder it’s sometimes not as easy to get your 2 litres in.
Five ways to increase your water intake
- Flavour it with slices of orange, lemon or lime, add some ice to make it cooler or use hot boiled water.
- Get yourself a nice glass, drink through a straw to add a cocktail feel.
- Try fruit or herbal teas that don’t contain caffeine.
- Take a bottle of water with you when on a journey. Have a drink before you start and another when you get to your destination.
- Little and often – have a small glass before and after each meal.
Also, just in case you’ve forgotten how good water is:-
- It’s good for your skin texture – reducing lines and wrinkles and helping you to look younger.
- It’s good for your brain power – helping you with concentration and thinking clearer.
- It’s good for your circulation and digestive systems and great for increasing your energy levels.
- It transports substances and carries nutrients and other material (e.g. blood cells) around the body, making it possible for every organ to do its job.
Challenge
Going from zero to 2 litres isn’t easy so why not set yourself a 10-day challenge. The challenge is to increase your water intake each day and by the end of your 10 day period, you will be drinking 2 litres a day. Contact me for a copy of my download that will help you with this.
