Since being ill and appreciating just how valuable drinking fluid is i decided to put myself on a fluid balance chart..
my intake was just over a litre a day.. OOOOPS.
It should be about 3 litres.
Do you drink enough?? |

"No and especially not at work,2 breaks in 12 and a half hrs means we don't at all
Good job really as we don't have time to pee most days  "
that's where i decided to do my fluid balance chart. We are so rigid with giving clients fluid and documenting it, that for a day the staff decided to fill out our own charts. |

It does count. Recent research found that the amount of water in a coffee is more than the diuretic effect of the caffeine.
