13th October 2017

1. It’ll Help To Get Happy Feelings Flowing
We all know how lousy that afternoon slump can make us feel, but did you know that water can help to combat this? A nice refreshing bottle of water can not only help with the afternoon mental fatigue (feeling tired can be one of the first signs of dehydration), but it can also actually help to improve your mood. Even mild dehydration can have an impact on our brain causing our moods to lower, so grab Your Bottle and get slurping! 

2. It’ll Help To Keep You Alert And Ready For Action 
As touched on in the previous point, water really is fantastic for your grey matter. Keeping hydrated can boost concentration levels keeping you focused and on task. Dehydration affects not only concentration, it can also impair your memory, attention span and motor skills. Help those little grey cells by upping your water consumption and not only will you benefit from razor sharp focus, it’ll also help you sleep better so that you’re primed and ready to face the day. 

3. It’ll Help Your Body To Function At Its Best 
Water is not only beneficial to your mental health, it is also vital for your physical well-being. Water helps to keep our cartilage supple which ensures that our joints stay well lubricated. Cartilage is around 85% water, so by drinking plenty you help to keep this protective material healthy and happy. 

4. It’ll Help Fight Off Those Winter Bugs 
Winter is just round the corner and keeping hydrated can be key in maintaining health through the festive period. A well-hydrated body finds it much easier to fight off infections. Organs and the immune system are in a much better condition to deal with invading bacteria, and with water available to flush any nasties out of your system as soon as they appear, there’s no chance they can take hold. 

5. It’ll Help Keep Your Skin In Tip Top Condition 
Talking of winter, making sure you drink enough is vital to skin health in the harshest of months. What with the ever changing temperatures from venturing out into the cold and then back to the warm and comfort of home, our skin takes a battering over this period. A study by the University of Wisconsin showed that, of all the body’s organs, skin gets the lowest priority when it comes to distributing the water you drink. So make sure you look after both yourself and your skin by keeping those fluid levels topped up.
