I drink Barley Cup from Holland & Barratt which is caffeine free, would this count as water?
You can certainly count this towards your water consumption and I’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, so re-hydrate and help your body
flush out the toxins it has been processing all night by drinking a glass of water first thing.
• Drinking a mug of hot water with lemon before breakfast will help cleanse your system.
• If you are cold, drink warm water with a slice of fresh ginger instead of coffee & tea.
• Don't wait until you're thirsty to have a drink – you are already dehydrated if you feel thirsty.
• Set a timer to remind yourself to establish a habit of drinking water
• Keep a large bottle of water with you at work and a smaller one with you when you are out.
• Add lemon or lime to water to tone your liver and add flavour.
• Drink water near to body temperature. Very cold water can over-stimulate the kidneys.
• Spread your water intake throughout the day & drink most of your quota before 6p.m.
• Drink before you eat - you may be thirsty rather than hungry!
