1. Water, Water and more Water
Hydration is critical. While the benefits are countless, this is one of the hardest things to implement into your daily routine. Whenever I would neglect this item my trainer would recite how water lowers body fat, flushes cellulite, improves digestion, gets rid of dark circles under the eyes, and makes you feel full. These are just a few of the benefits of drinking the required 2.5 litres of water per day.
This may seem like a lot, but I found the easiest way to get into the habit is to break the amounts down into manageable amounts:
- Keep a bottle of water beside your bed. Before you go to sleep drink 1/2 the bottle and as soon as you wake up (before your feet touch the floor) drink the remaining 1/2 bottle
- Before each meal drink a half a bottle of water
- Carry water with you and sip it throughout the day I can't overemphasize how important this step is.
