5 reasons to drink… plenty of water
Its calorie free, doesn’t cost the earth and has a distinct taste you can never say you don’t like. This summer, make sure you know all the reasons why water is the Unislim top holiday tipple.
- Drinking plenty of fluids helps keep your blood pressure stable – dehydration can lead to a fall in blood pressure and a loss of energy.
- We often mistake thirst for hunger and end up reaching for sugary snacks as a pick me up. Staying hydrated will help reduce these false feelings and next time you feel hungry and its not a meal time, trying drinking a glass of water before you order.
- Drinking water will help flatten your stomach because, ironically bloating is caused by water retention which is brought on by not drinking enough water! Aim for at least 2 litres a day, that’s around 8-10 glasses for a flatter tum.
- Keeping hydrated improves your digestive health – water helps dissolve fibre that you get from bread and cereals so that substances can pass through more easily, avoiding that sluggish full feeling!
- Drinking enough water keeps joints and muscles in top working order, with the added bonus that it boosts concentration and energy levels.
