Drinking water is an important part of life. In fact, you can live longer on just water (without food) than living on just food (without water). Many people do not drink enough water which is why it is so important to be careful about your water consumption. Here are some good steps to follow to remain well hydrated

1. Always have a glass of water when you wake up, and before you go to bed. You could write yourself a notice on your bedside table so you don't forget.
2. Eat foods with high water content. Watermelon, celery, cucumbers, and lettuce are good, healthy choices.
3.Have a glass of water with all your meals. If you are trying to lose weight, a study has proved that people who drank two glasses of water before meals lost more weight than those who don't.
4. When you work out, keep a water bottle with you. Bring two! Your body sweats which is one way your body uses water. You need to replenish your body with nice, cool water. (Cool water will help cool you down more.)
5. Watch what else you drink. Gatorade, is a common drink but it actually dehydrates you. Drink more water than other drinks. Of course, water doesn't have to be your top priority. Milk and orange juice are great liquids to drink too. Try to drink healthy liquids instead of soda or alcohol.
6. When you feel hungry even though you've recently eaten, don't continue to eat. Many people believe they are continually hungry but in reality they have not drank enough water. Surprisingly, water actually fills you up. It's important!
7. Just because drinking water is most important, you do not have to limit yourself only to water. Every once in a while, have a soda or a small glass of wine (if you're an adult).
8. Educate yourself. Learn the symptoms of dehydration. There are many obvious factors, and learn the benefits of drinking enough water.
9. Keep the 8 glass rule in mind. Eight glasses of water each day is not the exact amount of water everybody needs. Every individual needs a different amount of water to stay healthy. At minimum, however, aim for eight glasses of water. It wouldn't hurt to drink more.
Below are some benefits of drinking enough water daily:
-It helps your body rid itself of toxins and impurities.
-It gives you more energy.
-It prevents you from gaining unwanted fat.
-It keeps your skin healthy and hydrated.
-It helps your eyesight because your cornea is 80% percent water.
-It raises your metabolism and helps your digestion.
-It strengthens your immune system.
-It keeps your blood pressure lowered.

Try our brands today. With our 1.5l, 80cl bottle and 50cl cup, be rest assured of constant hydration, whenever & wherever.
Kindly call 08024040420 or email hisgrace75@yahoo.com today to place an order for our water.

What Renters Want
Nigerian renters are calling for respect and good reasons when it comes to rental increases and the ability to make their rental a
‘home’.

The ability to own a pet, hang artwork, place family photos, enjoy a good kitchen and nice neighbourhood are big on the wish list of Nigeria’s growing number of renters, according to Nigeria’s number one real estate website www.privateproperty.com.ng.

“Due to increasingly stressful housing affordability levels and a changing lifestyle where renting is
a preferred option by many, Nigerian cities are highly likely to follow major overseas city trends
where by the large majority of the population rents rather than purchases homes. Over 79% of
Nigerians are renting because they can’t afford a house and some even think the state of housing affordability in the country is really bsad.

“Nigeria has over 80% of the population that rent, and with this long-term trend, now evidenced
here, there will be greater pressure on landlords to provide ‘homes’ for singles, couples and
families, rather than just bricks and mortar. We believe tenants would love to
have some aspects of contractual rental agreements relaxed, so they can make a longer term
home. Having a good, long-term tenant will provide many benefits and ensure an investment with
a sound, reliable return,” says Taiwo Oluwafemi, MD/CEO privateproperty.com.ng.

About 85.4% of tenants in Nigeria want more information on how to personalise a rental
property to make it a home at their own cost without the need to involve a landlord or agent, says Taiwo Oluwafemi

Majority of tenants really what makes a home a ‘home’, things like:
- A good kitchen
- Ability to hang artwork
- Ability to have a pet
- Ability to display family photos
- A good amount of privacy

When it comes to rental increases, Nigerian tenants feel that it is always an unfair trend,
citing the following reasons:
“Increase not fair as basic maintenance not being done.”
“Rise comes amid on-going Economic problems!!”
“The increase is [after] only a matter of 6 months without any improvement on service, support & rental place.”
“Our latest rent increase was due to the fact that our landlord felt he needed more pay”

Top ten desires/issues from survey
1. Ability to personalise rental property to make it a longer term ‘home’
2. More flexibility to have pets
3. Rental price advertised and price promoted by inspection is often different
4. Pre-approval system completed by agents, so they don’t have to reapply every time
5. Renters would like agents, landlords to return phone calls more often
6. Renters don’t feel respected by agents
