The London Olympics are now just a few days away and the anticipation is starting to show in the entire nation. The United Kingdom Olympic team has a very good change of walking away with one of the top spots for overall medal counts. However, have you ever thought of the logistics around an event of this magnitude, even for something as simple as just supplying water?
With over 14,000 athletes, referees, officials and coaches attending the event, the requirements, and needs of those individuals are extreme. If the athletes drink only three litres of water a day, which is normal for high performance individuals, then the water requirements for them will be 42,000 litres of water per day, or 714,000 over the seventeen days that the Olympics will be held. If they only used water bottles to quench their thirst, it would take almost a million bottles of 750ml bottles to keep them correctly hydrated. An even scarier thought is that the three major pools at the London Olympics will hold approximately 10 million litres of water. Fortunately, for the spectators and visitors that will be flocking to London for this amazing sporting event, companies like AquAid have taken the correct steps to ensure that all their customers will have sufficient water for the duration of this summer’s main sporting event.
They have a wide range of mains fed water cooler rental solutions on offer to their new and existing clients that will ensure that all their water needs are catered for. The mains fed water coolers filter and clean the mains water that every house delivers. This simple system ensures that there is no need to worry about water supply during the summer. This service will be vital for guesthouses, hotels, hostels and other accommodation venues across the UK.
According to the organisers, over 250, 000 rooms have been made available in the immediate vicinity of the main stadium alone. If you are one of those new accommodation sites, ensure you have clean, safe and cool water ready !

It is so much easier and simpler to have a healthy lifestyle and healthy skin than most people think. The basics of a healthy lifestyle are finding the right balance between healthy living and the correct intake of good quality fruit and vegetables. The healthy lifestyle can be made easier by assisting your body to remove all the toxins, chemicals and waste products by giving it the tools needed to clear your system. Our modern lifestyle often adds to the stress and harmful toxins that we consume and we need to give our bodies the best chance of surviving for as long as possible.
The best tool, and one that will not cost you much at all, is water. Water is the most important building block in our bodies and it is needed for every cell, muscle and fibre to survive. Our bodies need water to clear out the toxins and to effectively rinse our system of harmful waste products. Blood is made up predominantly of water and it is the main source of vitamins and minerals to all our cells. The more water that you drink, the more your body can clean itself and remove these harmful substances, resulting in a healthier more efficient body. A problem that often happens is that people mistake the feelings of dehydration for the feeling of hunger. This leads to many individuals eating more than they need to and gaining weight. When the feeling of hunger hits, have a glass of water first and see if the craving goes away. This will assist you to reduce your body’s food intake and it will help to ensure that you stay hydrated. If the hunger needs are still there after you have had your fill of water, then eat something healthy, depending on the time of day.
Another benefit of water is that it hydrates the skin and makes it look younger and healthier. It does this when the cells in the skin are correctly hydrated, giving them a fuller and healthier appearance.
Keep a water bottle with you and ensure that you are always correctly hydrated.

There are many advantages of having a water cooler in your home, office or education building. Some of the best advantages of drinking enough water every day are that you will actually improve you mental and physical abilities.
One of the biggest selling points for water coolers is that they can actually enhance the performance of staff members, students and athletes by up to 30%. By drinking enough water every day, our bodies and especially our brains perform at their best, allowing you to work for longer without getting tired or forgetful. Many businesses and schools are now installing water coolers to ensure that their staff or students have the best opportunity to drink enough water every day.
Some schools are even encouraging their students to carry small water bottles with them to ensure that they always have water close at hand. Being properly hydrated increases not just your learning ability, but also your concentration. Many children are considered hyperactive or problem children because they have difficulty sitting still or concentrating. The sad reality is that their diets are more often than not the main reason for the children not being able to focus or sit still for more than two seconds. The amount of sugars and preservatives that they take in every day from sweets and fizzy cool drinks, are shockingly high. Some fizzy cool drinks have more than two cups of sugar in a single litre or fluid. That’s the equivalent to having half a cup of sugar for every cup of fluid. Would you add half a cup of sugar to your coffee? I seriously doubt it!
Encourage your child to drink more water and healthy, sugar free drinks and watch the difference. Just by installing a water cooler in your school or home, you can increase your students or child’s learning abilities and future for ever. Water coolers offer cool, fresh and healthy water and with the free delivery and ease of installation that companies like AquAid offer, there is no reason to delay installing one immediately. Their water is bottled using naturally filtered and chemical free water from the springs at Godlingston Manor. Perfect for you and everyone you care about.
