Top tip: Drink 8 glasses of non-alcholic drinks a every day. This really helps with fluid retention by ridding the body of sodium, and keeps you full. Slight dehydration really affects your concentration and food cravings can often be a sign of dehydration. There's also a link between poor hydration and cancers of the colon, urinary tract and breast.
