Overview
Two thirds of our bodies are composed
of water, the most important yet most neglected nutrient, essential
for flushing out toxins and hydrating the skin and vital organs. Drink
2.5 litres (5 pints) of fluid per day.
Remember, this is a guide only and is dependant upon your work, diet,
environment and the temperature in which you are working, so do not
overload.
Avoid alcohol, tea and coffee, which cause the body to lose water and
rob us of important vitamins and minerals.
Too much caffeine may also cause glucose imbalance leading to peaks
and troughs in energy.
Drink plain water or try herbal teas or watered down fresh fruit juice.
Fruit and vegetables are made up of 90 per cent water so by eating more
of these you will also pump up your fluid intake.
