Your body will probably appreciate more water as it's essential for all the thousands of electro-chemical processes that happen every day.

The water needed is still with nothing added, filtered or bottled is best:

• Water is best at about body temperature as it can be utilised immediately
• Start the day with a glass of water, great with a slice of fresh lemon.
• Keep a glass of water near you and sip it often 
• Keep a bottle of still water near your bed
• When you feel thirsty, drink water- how often do you drink something else when your body is asking for water?
• Every time you have an alcoholic drink follow it with water  
• Have a glass of water while you wait for the kettle to boil for your cup of tea or coffee 
• Try warm water in winter or instead of tea or coffee
