Eight glasses per day. Sometimes a little more and occasionally a little less. But it is a super drug. Hydrates, cleanses, lowers blood sugar, gives energy and helps with blood pressure. Try it. It works.

Drink More Water
Water is like a miracle drug. It hydrates you so you have the right blood pressure as well as removes toxins. It can lower your blood glucose. It also helps to reduce constipation and keep your skin and internal organs healthy.
It’s also a great tool to help you lose weight or maintain your ideal weight.
However, if you neglect it, after 4 days without water, most people expire.
So treat it with the respect it deserves. Drink up!!
Clean Air And Water
Get away from the grime and pollution of larger cities. Get out into the countryside, hours from a major town. Smell the air, see the stars, taste the water.
Get amongst the trees and breathe in the fresh air, especially if out for a walk or swim.
You’ll love it. A few days and you’ll be fully refreshed. A week and you will be renewed.
Get On The Water
Get out on a raft, boat, yacht, SUP, kayak, canoe, pedalo, or pink flamingo. But get out there and mess around for some fun. Jump in the water for added cool.
It’s great exercise, fun and cooling on these warm summer days.
Water Sandwich
This is a great tactic to help you lose weight or maintain a certain weight range. I call it the water sandwich.
A key element to weight management and overall health and fitness is to drink a couple of litres of water each day. But this can be difficult, especially for people not used to drinking that much water each day. They often forget or put it off, especially if they don’t enjoy the taste.
However, we often enjoy a little too much of our favourite foods. So the water sandwich idea to minimise food intake and maximise water intake is as follows:
Take the item that you are craving, or want in the moment, and have just a small bite. This gets you interested in having more and has the benefit of getting the food taste in your mouth.
Then drink a glass or pint of water. If you do it quickly, you’ll still have the idea of the taste of your preferred food in your mouth or mind. This helps you get a large amount of water on board.
Finally, take another small bite of your preferred food and walk away. Now you feel full from all of the water and you walk away with the taste of your preferred food on your tastebuds. Yet, you’re so full from the pint of water, you couldn’t imagine having any more of the food at the moment.
There you have it. The water sandwich is an excellent tool to use to increase water intake and reduce food consumption while still getting the nice taste of certain foods. Try it.
Just Add Water
It’s amazing how water can fix so many things. Dehydration, which can cause sluggishness or loss of focus, can be fixed with a few glasses of water.
Have a glass of water a little before bed and have a full glass when you wake up. These are easy times to remember and great habits to instil.
A few more glasses of water throughout the day and you’ll feel fresher, more awake, energised and focused.
Keep the water flowing. You’ll feel better for it.
