Hi,
You can certainly count this towards your water consumption andI’ve also included some tips below which may give you (and others)some ideas to help you increase your water intake further!
• You are naturally thirsty (dehydrated) in the morning, sore-hydrate and help your body
flush out the toxins it has been processing all night by drinking aglass of water first thing.
• Drinking a mug of hot water with lemon before breakfastwill help cleanse your system.
• If you are cold, drink warm water with a slice of freshginger instead of coffee & tea.
• Don't wait until you're thirsty to have a drink – youare already dehydrated if you feel thirsty.
• Set a timer to remind yourself to establish a habit ofdrinking water
• Keep a large bottle of water with you at work and a smallerone with you when you are out.
• Add lemon or lime to water to tone your liver and addflavour.
• Drink water near to body temperature. Very cold watercan over-stimulate the kidneys.
• Spread your water intake throughout the day & drinkmost of your quota before 6p.m.
• Drink before you eat - you may be thirsty rather than hungry!
