Tips to drink more water:
- Keep a reusable bottle of water with you during the day. It's a great reminder plus a reusable bottle is better for the environment.
- Drink some water with each meal and snack.
- Replace other drinks with water. For example, if you usually have a soft drink with lunch, make a goal to replace it with water.
- Drink one glass of water per hour at work.

Today is World Cancer Day. 10 million people die from cancer every year. At least one third of common cancers can be prevented.

It is important to know the signs of oral cancer and to make an appointment with a dentist to have your concern checked out.

Signs to look out for:
• A sore, irritation, lump or change in the thickness of soft tissues.
• An ulcer that is present for longer than 2 weeks or continues to return over and over again.
• Blood blister in the mouth that does not heal or keeps coming back.
• A white or red patch in the mouth.
• A continued feeling that something is caught in the throat.
• Difficulty chewing or swallowing.
• Difficulty moving the jaw or tongue around.
• Glands/lymph nodes under the lower jaw that have not gone away after 2 weeks (and you are not otherwise unwell).
• A sore throat that does not go away.
• Difficulty speaking, or a change in voice.
• The tongue or other areas of the mouth feel numb.
• Swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to stop fitting properly or become uncomfortable to wear.
