It sounds simple-but a lot of people are not getting their daily intake of water. You should try and drink 2 litres of water a day-not only will it keep you hydrated-but it makes your skin healthier and helps get rid of any toxins in your body<\/p>\n\n

- Eat Watermelon <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
While it’s true a tall glass of water is the best known way to stay hydrated, there are plenty of alternative options.<\/p>\n\n
Did you know that Watermelon is made up of 92 percent water! But its salt, calcium and magnesium is what makes it ideal for rehydration<\/a>. It is also a good source of potassium, vitamin A and vitamin C.<\/p>\n\n

- Cucumbers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Composed of 96 percent water, cucumbers have no saturated fat or cholesterol, and are very high in vitamin K, vitamin B6<\/a> and iron.<\/p>\n\n
- \n\t
- Sports drinks<\/strong>
\n\t <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nSugar and sodium are good things when it comes to sports drinks as they can bring your body back to balance<\/a> faster than water after a grueling workout<\/p>\n\n
- \n\t
- Coconut water<\/strong>
\n\t <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nUnlike sports beverages, coconut water is low in carbohydrates, while still rich in potassium. And its unsweetened varieties can be very hydrating (assuming you like its unique taste). According to a study, the all-natural beverage is effective in rehydrating<\/a> after light exercise<\/p>\n\n

- \n\t
- Go For a Brisk Walk <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Just going for a 30 minute walk every day can do wonders to help you relax, not only that it will improve your mood as well as prevent or manage many various conditions including heart disease and high blood pressure. Don’t forget to stay hydrated though with plenty of water! <\/p>\n\n
- \n\t
- Take A Long Bath <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Soaking in hot water is more powerful than you might think. In fact, there are quite a few definite health benefits <\/strong>to be gained. Hot water relaxes the body and better prepares us for falling asleep, and it can help reduce headaches! So get that bath bomb out and light those candles!<\/p>\n\n
- \n\t
- Make Healthy Dietary Choices<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Eating well can help your body feel balanced and healthy, making you less susceptible to spikes in blood sugar and feelings of anxiety. ...So, for example, instead of turning purple with rage, get green with a cup of herbal tea<\/a>. Green tea is a source of L-Theanine<\/a>, a chemical that helps relieve anger! Or replace stress with sweetness and try a spoonful of honey. Honey provides compounds that reduce inflammation<\/a> in the brain, meaning it helps fight stress!<\/p>\n\n
- \n\t
- Have A Spa Day <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
There’s more to visiting a spa than just relaxation. From softer skin to better health, and with a serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, spending an afternoon at a health spa will certainly have you coming out relaxed and rejuvenated! <\/p>\n\n
- \n\t
- Close Your Eyes <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
It sounds simple-and it is. Just closing your eyes for a few minutes and taking a quick break from a busy office or a chaotic household is an easy way to regain calm<\/a> and focus.<\/p>\n\n
