Try to eat every 2 to 3 hours - even if it’s just a small snack, a piece of fruit, or a smoothie.
Hydration is needed for good digestion, circulation, and for general cognitive function. Water is essential for us to consume, but we can struggle to drink enough.
Keep a bottle of water with you throughout the day and take small sips as you go.
If you don't like the taste of water on its own, try adding slices of lemon.
Aim for 6 - 8 glasses (200ml) of water every day
Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up in the mornings. Or take a drink while you are brewing your morning coffee or tea.
Cut down on sugar
Don't skip meals
Limit your salt intake
Eat more oily fish
Eat more fruit and veg
