Making Movement Matter - day 11 - Water, Water!

Are you drinking enough water? 

We all know that water is the stuff of life, but it's amazing how we can forget to prioritise putting it into our body! Just drinking enough plain old fashioned water can give us that extra energy boost that we're needing. Today drink at least 1.5 litres of water.

Why does this matter? 
We are 70% water but losing water all the time through breathing, sweating, peeing, pooing. We need to be putting it back in to keep our system functioning optimally. Plain water or herbal teas will all hydrate you. Fresh made juices can also count too as long as these are fresh made and watch the fruit sugar content.

What am I doing?
I've made a big jug of water with some cucumber and lemon in it that I'm going to sip my way through today. The cucumber and lemon alkalises the water making it really easily absorbed by the tissues, getting it into the system quicker. And it tastes delicious!
