Hydrate to elevate
We all know drinking water is important, but the
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though
we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look
at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a
few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable.
With over a quarter of Kiwis consuming
less than two glasses of water a day and only
5% drinking more than the recommended
eight, the message obviously hasn’t hit
home on the importance of hydrating our
body.
A recent survey conducted by
SodaStream found that Cantabrians are
particularly guilty when it comes to their
water intake.
With 82% drinking less than six glasses
of water a day, but with over 85% admitting
they feel healthier when they drink more
water, something needs to be done to
bridge the gap in terms of what we know
to be true and what we’re actually doing
about it.
This same survey revealed that although
41% of us limit how many soft drinks we
consume due to our concerns over sugar
content, the same number of people said
tea or coffee is this their number one drink
of choice.
Some people even believe that the water
consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes
part of their water intake. This is a fallacy.
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as
does alcohol too, it means we need to
drink even more water to compensate.
Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t
drink nearly enough water is that we
simply forget. Now with apps you can
download direct to your smart phone,
there are no more excuses.
Further studies proved that people who
had a SodaStream machine in their homes
were more likely to drink more water.
In fact, the study showed that people
drank 30% more water.
For those of us who aren’t used
to drinking water like it’s going
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways
to increase the fun factor while still
being healthy.
By simply turning tap water into
sparkling water with a SodaStream
machine and adding a splash of fresh
lemon juice or naturally squeezed fruit
juice, is bound to have a positive impact on
our health and wellbeing.
