Being healthy is hard. You have to exercise multiple times a week, eat a balanced diet, cut out bad habits and on top of that, you’re supposed to drink like five gallons of water a day. I mean not really, it’s actually at least eight cups of water a day. But that’s a lot of water! It’s hard enough to remember to put on deodorant every day, let alone drink that much water! Thankfully, everything becomes easier once you make it a habit. And drinking the recommended amount of water daily can become a habit pretty easily. Here’s how to drink more water without it becoming a hassle!

If you love carbonation but don’t want to drink pop, there are so many different flavors and brands of sparkling water that can quench your thirst!
