Easy Ways to Drink More Water Every Day

30 Aug Easy Ways to Drink More Water Every Day

Ways to up your intake of water every day.  

Everyone knows we should drink more water – but how many of us are actually doing it? We should be drinking around 8 8-ounce glasses of water every day, and even more if we exercise and sweat more. We need water to survive; it is essential for our bodily functions, brain activity, and everything else in between. If you want to make a habit of drinking more water, check out these top tips.

Always have water within reach. You’re more likely to drink water if you always have it with you. Keep a reusable bottle with you at all times so that you can sip while you’re in the car, at work, home, the gym, and on the go.

Flavor it with natural ingredients. If you find drinking plain water too bland, jazz it up with some fruit and herbs. Consider natural flavors like slices of lemon, lime, ginger, strawberry, cucumber, mint, basil, and lavender. Once you find a taste that you like, you’re more likely to enjoy hydrating!

Use water as a reward. Want to go out for lunch? Don’t treat yourself until you’ve drunk four glasses of water. Ideally, you’ll be fuller and can skip dessert anyway.

Eat your water. Another way to get in your water is to eat water-rich foods such as cucumbers and melons.

Find your favorite herbal tea. You don’t have to just drink water to get your H20 in for the day. Find a herbal tea that you like, such as raspberry, green, nettle, etc., and make yourself a couple of cups throughout the day.
