Nature\u2019s energy drink<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How\u2019s your energy? No, not your gas and electricity, but your own energy?<\/p>\n

Tiredness during the day has many of us reaching for coffee or energy drinks for a pick-me-up. But did you know they can actually have the reverse effect?<\/p>\n

A common cause of drowsiness is dehydration. And the good news is that it\u2019s easily remedied by knocking back a glass of nature\u2019s energy drink \u2013 water!<\/p>\n

How much is enough water? For adults, the recommendation is between about two and three litres a day<\/a> \u2013 and more if you\u2019re losing water through sweat. Drinks that contain caffeine should actually be avoided<\/em> when you\u2019re dehydrated \u2013 they have a diuretic effect on the body, which can dehydrate you even further.<\/p>\n

So next time you\u2019re yawning your way through an afternoon meeting (that in fairness, probably should have been an email), knock back some water. Bonus points if it\u2019s from a reusable bottle, which you should make a habit of carrying with you.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having trouble upping your water intake because of the flavour,\u00a0jazz it up with some sliced fruit if you\u2019re feeling fancy, or just add a hint of juice to taste.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re in an office, fill a jug to keep it on your desk and work your way through it. Set reminders to drink a glass every hour or so.\u00a0 Some smartphone apps and watches have \u2018remember to drink water\u2019 reminders inbuilt. What a time to be alive!<\/p>\n

So there you have it. Water! Like drinking a nap! And the best thing is, this is one energy drink that\u2019s free and available on tap. Cheers to that!<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not water\u2019s only superpower\u2026 It\u2019s also pretty handy at helping to generate clean energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
