Drink lots of water!

I seldom fall sick... very rarely actually... touch wood! However, recently, just before Christmas, I fell sick and it was bad enough that the doctor gave me a day's Medical Certificate without my asking for it. Since I recovered, I had been trying to analyze to see if I had done anything wrong to have fallen sick! Was it my diet? Was it my work? The environment or the stress?

I think I am quite a healthy person, especially since lately, I have started jogging on a regular basis... so the sickness came as a surprise for me!

Since then, I came up with the answer... at least I think so. I'm not 100% sure but here's what I realised. Since working here, I have been pretty busy and with my sister around, I have been even busier. One of the things I forget to do when I am really busy is to drink lots of water.

I remember my mother always telling me to drink lots of water. To her, water will heal anything! If you have a fever, drinking lots of water will cool you down. If you are tired, drinking lots of water will energize you! If you have bad skin complexion, drinking lots of water will smoothen your skin. Since young, she made us drink lots of water!

I'm not sure if this is some old wife's tail... but then it's worked pretty well for me through the years. So here is what I decided to do! I am going to drink a big glass of water before I go to work every morning, drink a big glass of water every 2 hours and drink a big glass of water before I go to bed at night... as long as I don't ahve to keep going to the toilet!
