This year I am feeling very healthy. I'm regularly eating breakfast, eating well over my five a day, at my optimum weight thanks to Slimming World and feeling good.
However I do get energy dips and I am aware my hydration is not what it should be.
BRITA have kitted me out with a jug and a Fill and Go water bottle which filters water to drink on the go, and challenged me to a month of getting my recommended fluid intake in filtered water.
Well February is known for being a wet month!

They were interested in how upping my filtered water intake makes me feel, firstly I wanted to get some facts to motivate me so I went on a search and found some great facts from Brita and through the world wide web!
1. Water is a healthy drink, especially if filtered and contains no calories.
2. I know from my time eating with Slimming World that the brain sometimes will be sending out messages and we can mistake them for hunger messages,when in fact your body just might be thirsty. I have tried listening a bit more carefully and often having a drink will make me feel full again,especially if I am eating regularly.
Talking about the brain, when our bodies become dehydrated our attention and concentration can decrease by 13% and short term memory by 7%, so drinking water can increase brainpower. I certainly need it.
My results in at the end of the month are pretty convincing for me.
I feel better, more energy. I did find my sleep disturbed but sorted it out by drinking my water early morning.
Maybe too much information, but my wee is a lovely colour and smells less. My bowels are running better.....(Sorry)
My skin looks better, plumper and more refreshed.
I am certainly less tired, I even would say less crabby, life has been tough and busy here, but I feel I have more energy to ride things out.

All in all its convinced me to drink more. I love the taste of the filtered water, the jug has been great for the kitchen, I keep my water dispenser stocked and ice cold water is always at hand. The family are drinking more, down to the nicer taste.
The Fill and Go Bottle has been used while I was away,I love it, I stayed in a hotel this weekend and was able to have my own filtered water for the night and out and about. I can see this being really great in summer especially.
Great news Brita have 10 Fill & Go Bottles to lucky winners
