Want to get in shape for summer? Weight control begins with proper hydration, since water attenuates the appetite stimuli and helps to reduce fat deposits, according to the World Health Organisation.

Take action:
Listen to your "thirst signal" and drink water throughout the day – especially during mealtimes; for a bit of variation, drink rooibos tea – either iced or hot, but without the added sugar; drink cold water, because it is absorbed more quickly by the body and can burn more kilojoules; don't drink coffee when you feel tired – one of the first signs of dehydration is tiredness and the caffeine in coffee will only act as a diuretic, making the situation worse.
