Water is made up of a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, is the basis for all fluids in the body and makes up around 2/3 of the weight of the human body. All of your body’s organs require water to function, preferably pure water opposed to PG Tips water.
It is recommended that you drink between 6-8 glasses of water every day. The World Health Organisation states that the absolute minimum is dependent on the climate, diet and activity level of each individual, but recommend at least intake of 2.5 and 2.2 litres for men and women respectively.
Thirst is a sign that dehydration has started, and the body is crying out for water to function. There is no getting away from the fact that drinking a glass of water is sometimes less appealing than a coffee, tea or can of cola. However, caffeine is a diuretic (causes you to pass water more) and after the initial ‘pick me up’, you are likely to feel more dehydrated and lethargic shortly after that morning cup of coffee.
So, sometimes we confuse what the body really, really wants and give it beer, wine, coffee, tea or soda instead. But try including water as part of a daily routine by having a glass at regular intervals. A simple way of implementing this is to have a glass first thing in the morning, the last thing at night and before any meal or snack. You can order water by contacting us today.
