Dr Stuart Galloway debunks some hydration myths and explains why keeping hydrated is important, plus Neil Shah and Sheena Flack talk about learning how to listen more effectively.

Are you confused about how much water you should be drinking every day? Does tea and coffee count in the at quota? And what about fluid before, during and after exercise? Dr Stuart Galloway, reader in exercise science at Stirling University, debunks some of the myths about the drinks we consume and tells Gillian Russell why keeping properly hydrated is so important.

The art of listening and how it can benefit our health. Neil Shah, Chief De-Stressing Officer from the Stress Management Society, says we have lost our innate ability to listen properly and describes how good listening can be empowering. Speech and language therapist Sheena Flack explains why nursery children in Tayside have been taking "listening" classes to learn how to listen. Isn't it about time we all learned to listen more effectively?

Nutritionist Scott Baptie shares inspiration and advice on what to eat before a race and demonstrates a recipe for a simple pork rigatoni.
