Happy New Year Rawster Tribe! It’s a rawsome new year, which means it’s time to kick off some resolutions—and I’ve got one that’s simple, impactful, and oh-so-refreshing: Drink more fluids and stay hydrated! Keeping your body properly hydrated can boost your energy, help you focus, and keep you feeling great all day long. Not a bad way to start the year, right? And with Raw C’s range of coconut water and sparkling drinks, staying hydrated has never been easier (or tastier). But how much water should we be drinking?
Is 8 glasses of water fact or fiction?
We’ve all heard the “eight glasses a day” rule, but here’s a shocker, did you know that’s just a starting point? Depending on your activity level and the summer heat, you might need more! So a good rule of thumb is to aim for 2-3 litres a day. Sure, it sounds like a lot but it can be done, so let’s dive into a hydration game plan to help you crush this goal from morning to night.
Morning Hydration: Start Your Day Fresh
First, we need to hydrate as soon as we wake up. After a long night’s sleep, our bodies are craving water. Think about it, it’s probably been seven or eight hours, if not more! So fill up your glass and get at your first two cups of water before breakfast. When you get to the kitchen set a new rawsome routine of coconut water with your brekky. Our Raw C 2-litre Straight-up Coconut Water bottles sort you out with 8 cups—one for each morning of the week (and a bit more if you’re extra thirsty). And how could we forget?! All our Raw C coconut waters are packed with potassium, sodium and magnesium electrolytes, making them way more hydrating than plain water.
Look at that, we’ve already sorted 3 cups of water before 9am. Or even 4 cups if you also have a large coffee with 300 mL of milk.
Throughout the day: Between work and play
Now before I head out the door or get started with my day, I fill up a 1-litre bottle with water to sip throughout the day, you might do this too, so keep it close as that’s another 4 cups! When lunchtime rolls around, hydration is just as important as your meal. Pair your lunch with one of our new Raw C 325mL Infused Coconut Water cans to add another glass and a half to the tally. Watermelon is my go-to for a refreshing midday pick-me-up! It’s light, fruity, and adds a splash of summer, especially when you get back into the swing of work days. The bonus of staying hydrated during lunch is that it helps us avoid the afternoon slump and keeps us energised for the rest of our day.
Quick check-in. We’re already at 8.5 cups, if not more if you also have one or two coffees and another glass with dinner! See this is one New Year’s resolution you can not just keep, but smash!
Cheers to a rawsome, hydrated 2025!
Look at that, we smashed it. This year, let’s make staying hydrated a resolution that sticks. Whether you’re starting your day fresh, keeping cool at lunch, or recovering from a workout, Raw C has a product to help you stay refreshed, hydrated, and feeling rawsome. So grab a bottle (or a can), drink up, and let’s crush those New Year goals together!
