With the promise of a BBQ-worthy summer and balmy days to come, it’s more important than ever that we make sure we’re drinking enough throughout the day to stay healthy and hydrated.

But proper hydration isn’t just an issue during the summer months.  It’s important to take in enough fluid throughout the year.  So how do we know if we’re well hydrated?  How strictly should we be sticking to the ‘eight glasses of water a day’ guideline?

In this live webinar, we’ll be joined by Professor Ron Maughan, Emeritus Professor of Sports and Exercise Nutrition at the University of Loughborough, and Chair of the European Hydration Institute’s Science Advisory Board.  He’ll be discussing recently released research that demonstrates the effect hydration can have on our health, wellbeing and performance.

Also in the studio will be Professor Monty Mythen, of University College London Hospital, to explore why hydration doesn’t receive the same amount of focus from researchers, doctors and the media as healthy nutrition, and why it should. 

Both guests will also be myth-busting and giving their advice on remaining healthy and hydrated and discussing signs and symptoms of under hydration which we should all be aware of.
