Most of us are aware of the importance of drinking water. Getting your daily requirements of water helps your organs function, keeps your skin clear and hydrated and allows physical action in your body to flow smoothly. Many people find it challenging to drink enough water throughout the day, especially in the summer when we tend to be more active and spend more time in the sun. Drinking plenty of water is critical. Not drinking enough water may lead to poor digestion, sluggish thinking, skin breakouts, headaches, bad breath and general fatigue.
Set a large glass of water by the bed when you go to sleep and drink it first thing when you wake up in the morning. This pulls out toxins left from the previous day and refreshes your system, preparing it for the day ahead. Keep a bottle of water accessible throughout the day, whether you're on the go or sitting at a desk. Having water close by will remind you to take a sip when thirsty. The first sip of water will usually let you know how much you need. If you have most of your water before early evening, the possibility of interrupted sleep will not be an issue because you will not crave a big glass before bed.
What about quality? Some people like bottled water, while others prefer filtered. The key is that you should like the taste of the water your are drinking and the water should agree with your body. Try different options to see what you like best. You can create a new splash of fun for your water, and you may make it more tempting to sip often by adding:
a few mint leaves
a wedge of lemon
a sprig of parsley
a few slices of cucumber
