Good afternoon all! Hope everyone is having a good day. I’ve been relaxing in the sun and it’s done my mental health a world of good! Make the most of the sun while you can! Drink plenty of water, especially if you’re exercising. Stay safe!

My sister told me about drinking plenty of water (her personal trainer swears by it) and I’ve really found a difference. Normally by 3pm I’m yawning my head off but now I feel more energised. Would definitely recommend it.

Oh wow that’s fab :)! I find it hard to get through the day without having a nap in the afternoon. I’ll have to up my water intake. Thank you 😊

I find I need to nap less now I eat low carb but I also had an iron transfusion around the same time so I can’t be sure which takes credit. When my son was very small, I worked full time and I was on my own, I was shattered & wanted to sleep all the time. The drs said this was a sign of depression, but I said, Um maybe I am actually tired. That is allowed you know! Xx

That’s true! Sometimes you just need to listen to your body 💗

I tried to have an afternoon nap a few weeks ago & could not do it! This the woman that can’t have the dentist chair too reclined or I will fall asleep and my mouth closes around the dentist’s fingers...

Haha oh dear! That’s good though! When I have a nap it usually takes up an hour at least of my day.

I’m glad you’re feeling brighter, it’s always good to have some down time

However, in general, let your thirst be your guide with regards to drinking, see this post in our Diet Myths series about water healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
