Hydrate yourself

Don’t forget to drink a lot of water, especially on those hot summer days. Around 75 percent, while some research mention 80 percent, of our body is water. Drinking 3 to 4 liters per day will keep your body hydrated and ready for any task that you may come up with. If you can’t drink that much water, try adding some flavor by dropping a couple of lemon slices or frozen fruits to your water. This way you will add flavor and natural sugar to your water.
