If the first thing you grab in a morning is your coffee – try water instead (don’t panic, we’re not suggesting you give up your morning coffee – just have a glass of water first!).
Your body will be dehydrated after fasting all night, so drinking water first thing helps you to start your day feeling focused and clear-headed, ready for your tea or coffee, and breakfast.
We also need plenty of water to:
- Keep eyes, nose & mouth hydrated
- Regulate body temperature
- Absorb nutrients
- Kickstart your gut & aid digestion
- Prevent constipation
- Lubricate & cushion joints to help you move
- Produce hormones & transmitters
- Reduce the risk of urinary tract infections
- Protect organs & tissues
- Flush out waste products
- Carry nutrients & oxygen to cells
- Support cell growth & reproduction
- Prevent headaches
- Moisturise the skin
- Prevent ‘brain fog’
There is no need to pay for bottled water, Australian tap water is always a great choice.
If you have any medical conditions, you should discuss your water intake with your doctor.
