Tips to get enough water in each day!

As the human body is made up of roughly 70% water it is imperative that we remain hydrated, otherwise, our vital bodily functions will severely suffer and put our health at risk. 

💦 Other than increasing your energy and allowing your brain to function optimally, drinking more water throughout the day can help you lose weight. 

If this is your goal there are a few ways that drinking more water can help you do this:

➡️ it can keep you fuller for longer.

➡️ it can increase your metabolism – therefore burning more calories, even at rest.

➡️ drinking two glasses of water before a meal will stop you from overeating as you will feel full more quickly – resulting in the consumption of fewer calories.

💦 My recommendation is to drink 50mL/kg of body weight. For example, a 100 kg person would need to drink 5L of water per day!

💦 If you struggle to drink this amount of water in a day I would advise getting yourself a 2L bottle and keeping it near you at all times. If you simply forget to drink water – set an alarm or have a notification pop-up at least every 30 minutes to remind you to have a drink. I think there is even a ‘drinking water’ app you can download!

I hope this helps and I guarantee that your body and mind will feel night and day better if you make drinking more water become part of your daily routine.
