Drinking enough water daily is hard.
Until you get in to the habit water can seem boring and inconvenient.
Water is important for hydration, joint lubrication, athletic performance, weight loss and so much more.
Here are Five Ways To Drink More Water.
1.
Start everyday with a glass of water.
Sometimes all it takes is a good start to keep you at it for the rest of the day.
A big glass of water in the morning already covers almost half a litre.
Most people wake up thirsty, so it's the perfect time.
2.
Try not to drink anything else but water until a designated time.
One trick is to only drink water until dinner, or any time you decide.
This way, you are almost forced to drink water.
If you get thirsty and it's not "X" time yet, you need some water.
3.
Buy a cool water bottle.
Isn't it funny how a gift (to yourself even) can make you do something you would not do otherwise? It's like getting a gym membership for Christmas.
You have to use it or it's wasted.
A nice water bottle will help you drink water and it's better for the environment than the disposable plastic bottles.
For a little extra try the Hydracoach-Intelligent Water Bottle.
For about $30, it will let you know how much water to drink and when you need to pace yourself.
Pretty neat! 4.
Have a glass on standby.
No matter what you are doing, it could be cleaning up, doing homework or talking on the phone have a glass of water nearby.
People are fidgety and when you need a quick distraction or you feel like moving take a sip of water.
A lot of people have the tendency to snack while doing something else.
Drinking water is a much more body positive option.
5.
Eat more fruits and veggies.
Another reason to eat healthy.
Fruits and veggies have a high concentration of water.
A salad is very hydrating with lettuce being 90% water.
Fruits and veggies make delicious snacks with hardly any preparation.
Stay hydrated
