We all know that water is the basis of life, or do we really? Our bodies are 75% water but this is the ratio when we are born, scientists believe that by the time we are 30, most of our total water content has dropped to 57-60%!

With Christmas upon us, I don’t know about you but I love a Winter walk? Having just completed Quarantine from arriving back to the UK from Italy the first thing I did was get up for sunrise (which isn’t really a huge ask at this time of year granted 😂) and head to the park just around the corner.
