3. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO KEEP YOUR BODY AND SKIN HEALTHY AND HYDRATED!
We all need water to survive – without it, our bodies would stop working properly. This is because the blood in your body which contains a lot of water, distributes essential oxygen to all the cells in your body. Water is also vital to our bodies because it not only helps you fight off illness, it gives a helping hand to your digestion whilst eating and flushes out toxins and waste products from the body. By flushing out all these toxins from your body, it is actually moisterizing your skin from the inside out.
- You will get most of the water you require not only from drinking water and other liquids, but also from eating fruits and vegetables with a high water content (like peaches, plums, melons, tomatoes, and eggplant!)
- Be sure to keep a bottle of water in your bag in hot weather or when you’re out playing sports, as you will need more than your usual water levels to keep your body hydrated and happy. If you’re bored with drinking plain water, simply add a drop or two of some of your favourite syrup into it, or better yet, some slices of fresh lemons/limes for an instant taste boost.
- An important tip is to remember that if you’re going out to play a sport or work out – drink water before, during, and after playing.
Your body can actually help you regulate the amount of water in your system by holding on to water when you don’t have enough or getting rid of it if you have too much! For example if your pee has ever been very light yellow, your body is getting rid of excess whereas if your pee is very dark yellow, it’s holding on to water, and it’s time to drink up!
