Water: more than a thirst quencher
Actually, I should drink more water. Our body consists of more than half water. You would think that we mainly consist of muscles and fat but it is therefore simply water. Often we only drink when we get thirsty, but that is not the first symptom that our body needs fluid. It even means that you have been drying out for quite a while.
Water from the water dispensers in Canberra is essential for the removal of waste, for the absorption of nutrients and for all our body processes. Drinking enough water is important for good digestion, healthy organs and brains. In addition, it is also good for our skin, and hair and is an aid in weight loss. Tap water is not healthy anymore, therefore filter.
Good for a healthy body & mind!
How do you know if your fluid balance is correct? Simple. By continuing to drink regularly. Below you will find even more benefits of drinking water. It is the first step to a healthy lifestyle, a healthy body and a happy mindset!
- Water reduces our hunger feeling;

The right amount of water
How much fluid you need depends on your body weight, but if you drink a minimum of 2 to 3 litres of water from the water dispensers in Canberra a day, that's enough. We get part of it (about 20%) from our diet. In addition, some drinks and nutrients are moisture-repellent, so these are not really conducive to our moisture balance. By water, we mean tap or mineral water, herbal teas and fresh juices. So it depends not only on how much you drink, but as said, what you drink and even when you drink it.

- Drink a glass of water 20 minutes before you eat, this reduces your feeling of hunger and also triggers your digestion.
- Always try to drink 2 glasses of water between meals. Make it a routine.
