Stay hydrated!

It's a bit cooler but remember to stay hydrated. If you have trouble remembering to drink water, play a drinking game. Every time you receive an email, drink a cup of water..or drink when you hear a phone ring or simply drink a small cup of water on the hour and on half past the hour, every hour.

Find it hard to drink water because it tastes bland to you? Squeeze in some fresh lemon and/or add some chopped fresh mint. Another tip is to make a strong cup of herbal tea using 2-3 tea bags (peppermint, vanilla green tea, chamomile, jasmine all work well), pour slowly over ice and add 2 cups of cold water and more ice. Got a sweet tooth? Although artificial sweeteners should be limited, diet cordials are a good, low calorie, sugar free (so they won't spike your insulin levels) and yummy option to add to your water.
