Listen: how to stay hydrated this summer

With thousands of people inspired by Team GB’s success in the pool and in the triathlon at the Olympic games over the past fortnight, an Olympian is reminding people to stay hydrated when taking part in a new sport they’ve been inspired by this summer. 

In fact, almost a quarter (23%) of UK adults have said that they have been inspired by the Olympics to start or increase their participation in sport.

Three quarters (75%) of people in the UK don’t feel they drink enough water each day, with figures by Ocean Bottle showing forgetting to drink (41%), not feeling thirsty (33%) and being unable to refill their bottle (18%) are the main barriers to drinking enough.

Aston spoke to former Olympian Professor Greg Whyte.
