It is well known by medical professionals that good quality water keeps the body functioning and if freely available in your work place your staff will be more healthy and vital and thus more productive.

GOLDEN RULES

Drinking lots of water will keep you fit: you will not become physically tired as quickly and you will also be mentally "on the ball" when your water reservoirs are filled up.

Rules for healthy drinking:

• Drink at least 8 x 250ml glasses a day, or more if you get a lot of exercise. Do not wait until you are thirsty. /
• Drink lots of water evenly distributed over the day. The best way to do it is to always have a supply of drinking water close by: on your desk, in the train, in the car, at the beach...
• Water cannot be replaced by coffee, tea or soft drinks. Coffee and alcohol even have a dehydrating effect.
• Drink before, during and after working out. Take regular water breaks!
• The very best thing is to start and finish each day with a glass of water, because while you sleep your body loses water.

WATER IS WELLNESS

Drinking a sufficient amount of water is one of the simplest exercises for staying healthy. Almost all bodily functions such as blood pressure, liver, kidneys, joints and digestion require water to function perfectly. After all, our bodies are made up of approximately 70% water.

In order to keep our bodies in top form we should drink an average of 2.0 litres of water each day. Hydration is important for our bodies to function properly both physically and mentally. Our seven golden water rules might help you to keep the perfect water balance. Please also read our special tips for children.

CHILDREN

Children in particular need plenty of water - but a recent survey shows that almost two thirds (64%) of children aged 3-15 do not drink enough water.

Because they can be so active, children in particular need plenty of fluid to stay healthy. But according to the results of the survey, most children are not drinking enough water - preferring fizzy drinks or squash instead.


Children should drink between six and eight glasses per day of a size appropriate for the age of the child and children of all ages should drink much more in hot countries and when running around.

Water enables your body to digest food more efficiently and assists the bowel in getting rid of waste products. It also helps your body to deal better with the sugar and salt in food so that it does not retain too much of these potentially health-damaging substances.

It can reduce fluid retention as well as cushioning unsettling swings in blood-sugar levels. Parents and teachers find that children are better able to concentrate, maintain good behaviour and feel good if they drink enough water - the effects can literally be life changing.

A child who does not drink enough is at risk of dehydration, showing symptoms such as headaches, constipation, lethargy and urinary tract infections. Even mild dehydration is thought to affect the ability to concentrate at school.

PREGNANCY

Pregnant women should make sure they drink plenty of water to help their baby develop normally.

BREAST FEEDING AND CARING FOR CHILDREN

Busy mums need plenty of water to breast feed and to cope with water loss from running around. Dehydration causes headaches and irritability so a ready supply of high quality drinking water is the very best thing for your families health.
