Do you underestimate water's importance? 🌿 Hydration plays a role in nearly every function. Start your day with water. 💧 It rehydrates your body. Dehydration leads to headaches and tiredness.

Carry a reusable bottle. Add fruit for flavour. 🍓Drink water before meals. Pale yellow urine means you're well-hydrated.

Stay hydrated and feel better! 🧘‍♂️

Do you think about your breathing? 🤔 The way you breathe influences how you feel.

Breathing supplies oxygen and affects the nervous system. Shallow chest breathing increases anxiety.

Try diaphragmatic breathing. 🫁 Breathe in through your nose, allowing your stomach to rise. Breathe out through your mouth. 🌀Practice nose breathing.

It helps filter and warm the air.

Improve breathing and feel better! 🧘‍♂️
