Start your day with a glass of water. This will help you set up your day for success. At the start of the day also place a water bottle in front of your workplace for ease of access. ### 2. Reduce what dehydrates you. Alcohol, pop, juice and caffeine are all dehydrators. If you are finding it hard to get your water quota of the day - drop one of the drinks that dehydrates you. ### Here’s to PAIN FREE living!! ### Dr Deirdre O’Neill, ND
