⭐ Healthy Habits - How to Stay Hydrated ⭐

Staying hydrated keeps your body working properly — especially when you’re active or it’s warm outside. Try these hydration hacks:

🚰 Keep a refillable bottle with you at all times
⏰ Set phone reminders to take a drink every hour
🥒 Add slices of cucumber, lemon or mint to your water for flavour
📏 Aim for 6–8 glasses of water a day (more if you're exercising)
🍉 Snack on hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber and oranges

It makes a bigger difference than you think!
