Staying Hydrated (Signature Work Campaign by Hollie, Lucy and Vee, 6MB)

Staying hydrated is an important thing, which many people forget to do DAILY. Being dehydrated is a problem causing dilemma to our daily and future lives.

But there are ways to stop dehydration. Many simple steps that can help you are steps like limiting your daily intake of caffeine or setting a schedule that you only drink in that time.

Here are some researched tips to help your daily hydration:

COFFEE:

• Should not be drunk by pregnant woman or children under the age of eight.
• Affects the body and can stay in your body for more than 6 hours.
• We recommend adults drink 3-4 cups at most.
• We recommend children drink 1-2 cups at most.

TEA:

• Some teas contain minerals and antioxidants.
• We recommend adults drink 4-6 cups at most.
• We recommend children drink 2-4 cups at most.

FIZZY DRINKS:

• More hydrating than tea or coffee.
• Eighty-five percent water.
• Can damage teeth, HIGH IN SUGAR.

WATER:

Water keeps our bodies working well and helps them stay fit and healthy. We lose water from our bodies every day when we sweat or go the toilet. This water needs to be replaced by drinking and eating. We recommend adults drink about six to eight cups and children under 8 years old drink around 4 or 6 cups. We can also get water from what we eat, for example fruits like watermelon have lots of juice.

An example of a daily drinking schedule is:

• 6:45: Wake up and drink one glass of water/juice, coffee, or tea.
• 7:00: drink two glasses of water/juice, coffee, or tea with breakfast
• Any time between 7:00 and 12:00: take 5-minute breaks from work and drink two glasses of water/juice, coffee, or tea.
• 12:00:  Eat a healthy lunch and have 1-2 glasses of water/juice, coffee, or tea.
• Any time between 12:00 and the next meal: drink 1-2 glasses of water/juice, coffee, or tea

Please stay healthy out there, keep you and your health in safe care, and take some time for yourself! ♥☺
