Did you have your 8 cups of water today?

Lack of fluids is a major cause of fatigue, since they transport nutrients and oxygen to our cells and organs.

We need at least eight cups (two litres) of fluids per day to stay properly hydrated. Besides drinking water, you can get hydrating fluids from watery foods such as fruit and vegetables and from milk, juice and other noncaffeinated, nonalcoholic beverages.

Energy-boosting tip: Ditch sodas and coffee and keep a glass of the clear stuff handy.

Being dehydrated can sap your energy and make you feel tired -- even mild dehydration of as little as 1 or 2 percent of your body weight. If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated -- and this can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness and other symptoms.
