Keep your friends close & your water bottle closer!

The adult human body is made of up to 60% water. Your brain, your heart, your lungs, your skin, your muscles & your kidneys are mostly water. Even your bones are watery.

Over 80% of Australians are walking around dehydrated.

We should be aiming for 2-3L of water on average. BUT, if it's hot, if you workout, if you're a coffee drinker, these things need to be factored in when you're figuring out how much water to be drinking day to day

Nasal breathe day to day - Mouth breathing causes the loss of 42% more water from the body
Eat whole foods to maintain optimal electrolye levels. This is a BIG one.
Get yourself a snazzy drink bottle & take it everywhere with you
Either sip on water throughout your day, or have planned breaks where you have bigger drinks at a time. See what suits you best
Avoid consuming super processed foods regularly
Set reminders
Set targets
Infuse your water with foods like berries or add a supplement to mix up the tastes
Drink before or after every time you eat

Acknowledge that you WILL pee more & that peeing is totally natural. Most people get bothered when they start to drink more & pee more because it's interrupting what they're doing. You will notice the loo calling you more in the beginning until your body gets more used to it. Don't think of it as an interruption, think of it as you getting hydrated & taking a break from whatever it was you were doing to be more productive.

Why not just drink lots of plain old water?
Well, just to be confusing, there is a time where drinking TOO much water can be detrimental to your health. You might be drinking lots of water but still have feelings of thirst, & this is due to an electrolyte imbalance.
