Here’s gut special Farzana Nasser sharing a few quick tips that can help you stay hydrated throughout the day.

*Add fruit/vegetables to your water. Water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and the B vitamins dissolve in water, and you have yourself vitamin water! For example, apple along with lemon. You can also add berries, cucumber, and all the citrus fruits.

*Herbal teas also count towards your water intake and they also support the gut microbes which feed off the polyphenols. Just add a little hot water and let your tea bag sit in it for a couple of minutes. Add some cold water to top it.

*Add herbs to your water. It tastes lovely and refreshing. Mint, lemon balm, basil, rosemary, and thyme are a few you can try.
