Drink Water

Don’t forget to keep hydrated throughout the day, as this can also help to prevent tiredness. The recommended daily amount is around two litres per day, but this depends on other factors such as your work environment or how much physical activity you get through in a day. Water is thought to make up around 80 per cent of the brain — and so poor hydration can adversely affect your mental as well as your physical performance. In fact, such is the link between water and performance, it is not uncommon for schools to allow children to have water to drink throughout the day in the classroom — and the same idea should certainly be applied in your own workplace. The best way to stay well hydrated throughout each day is to have a water bottle within arm’s reach at all times.
