Firstly Happy New Year to all of our customers, partners, colleagues and friends from all at the WCD Group! Now that the New Year has begun so, too, do all of the diets, healthy eating promises and exercise regimes. Why not try drinking water throughout the day to help your detox and start a New Year’s resolution to refill your glass with more water? Water is so beneficial and can help you with your New Year health kick in a number of ways. Most people feel the need to be ‘good’ in the New Year after consuming a higher that usual amount of alcohol and food over Christmas. A great way to cleanse the body and refresh the liver is by flushing it out with water. Aim to drink around 8 glasses of water a day to feel the benefits. It has often said that drinking a glass of water before eating can help you to loose weight. The theory is that the stomach gets full up of a calorie free liquid leaving less room for food. Extra pounds can be lost when drinking water before eating, although be sensible if you’re going to try this! When exercising always remember that you will need to drink more water. It’s obvious that when sweating more our bodies need to be rehydrated so take a bottle with you and make sure you drink plenty before, during and after your workout! Passionate about hydration health & wellbeing, we developed a free app to help inform people about their hydration and potentially change their water-drinking regime for the better. It’s an easy to use and helpful app for anyone wanting to improve their water intake and monitor it regularly to ensure that they are at their optimum hydration level on a daily basis. Once you have downloaded and installed the app on your chosen device, you can then run the personal assessment program. This takes all of your circumstances into consideration and quickly decides how much and how often you should be drinking water. Let the app know the size of the drinking container you are using, and you will then receive an alert each and every time you need to drink. It will also take your current exercise routine into consideration and adjust accordingly. We think you will like it and we were pleased to be a Food Bev World Beverage Innovation Awards winner a wee while ago. How refreshing! Stay Hydrated So instead of waiting for thirst to start kicking in, why not avoid it altogether and stay hydrated? By ensuring that you have easy access to cool and hot drinking water at all times, you will lessen the chances of dehydration greatly. Look into installing a chilled water fountain or water dispenser into your home and workplace and also look closer at how instant boiling KettleTaps can have a very positive effect on both your health and time saving requirements.
