water BABY

I KNOW I SHOULD DRINK MORE WATER (I write about it all time)... but some (most) days I fall short of drinking the recommended 8 glasses a day...

BUT I've found some info which I think will help me (and maybe you!) drink more water...
1. If plain water is too boring, drop in a few raspberries or slices of lemon, orange or cucumber. Or add frozen flavoured ice cubes - like frozen orange or cranberry juice!
2. Start your morning with a glass of water and continue to drink all day! Fill up a large bottle of water and keep sipping from it throughout the day.
3. Have a glass of water after each trip to the loo.
4. On days when you exercise have an additional 1/2 cup water for every half an hour exercise.
5. Remember almost any liquid is better than no liquid at all - except for alcohol and caffeine drinks - they can actually cause you to lose water! Cheers!

So very important for so many reasons! Especially coming into the warmer months. Herbal tea counts as water too if that's easier to drink. Water is the best!
