Dehydration is a common cause of fatigue. As nearly all bodily functions reply on fluid balance, when this is thrown off it can affect our energy levels and overall body function.2 If we don’t replace these lost fluids, then our body has to work harder and we are left feeling exhausted. That’s why I love taking The Beauty Chef Hydration Inner Beauty Boost which contains ultra hydrating and pH balancing Coconut Water, Aloe Vera and Lemon Myrtle. It also aids digestion thanks to Papaya which, thanks to its plant proteolytic enzymes, is traditionally used to help break down and digest proteins.3

By incorporating more fresh fruit and vegetable juices into your diet, such as in green smoothies and fresh juices, you will feel more energetic!
