Water

Our body is made up of 60% water so it's crucial to keep it properly hydrated.  We need to drink at least 2 litres of water a day and if we exercise, drink alcohol or caffeine then even more.  A simple test you can do to check you are drinking enough water is to take a look at your urine in the afternoon. Clear urine signals a well hydrated body, dark urine usually indicates de-hydration, so have a water bottle with you at all times.  It's better to sip water throughout the day rather then gulp it down. WHY?  Avoid drinking any flavored or vitamin waters as they contain florescent colourings and are usually full of additives and sugar.  Instead to liven up water try adding liquid Chlorophyll (available at Bodyism.com) to add a delicious mint taste that also works to alkalize the body.
