10 Ways To Help You Drink More Water

Water has so many health benefits but sometimes it’s hard to consume as much as we should. Life gets in the way and we end up dehydrating our bodies without thinking about it. Here are 10 healthy tips to help you drink more water.

1. Add Fruit Fusion

Chop up your favorite fruit and add it to your daily water. This will not only give your water a great taste but add vitamins to your daily intake as well. Next time you are at the grocery store make sure to grab extra of your favorite fruit and pre-chop them to make adding them to your water as pain free as possible. Fruit is always a great tip to help you drink more water during the day.

2. Drink A Glass Before Each Meal

While you are cooking or waiting for your meal, make sure that you drink at least one glass of water. This is a great way into tricking yourself into drinking more water without you even realizing it. This is also a great weight control tactic because you will feel more full with a glass of water in your stomach.

3. Use An App To Track

The techie that you are, there is an app for that. Download an app to help you count and drink more water. This will keep you accountable and keep you water intake high. Try out Gulp, Daily Water, or Hydro Diary.

4. Take A Reusable Water Bottle Everywhere

Make sure that everywhere you go that reusable water bottle goes with you so that you can sip it all day long. This will help you drink more water because it will always be right there by your side. Hydrating throughout the day is better than chugging water in a couple of sittings, so try and keep a water bottle with you.

5. Switch From Soda To Sparkling Water

You should really consider switching out soda all together from your diet because that stuff is bad for you in all sorts of ways. However, switching to sparkling water still gives you that fizz without all that sugar. This helps you drink more water and saves your body from all that syrup. Seriously though, stop drinking soda.

6. Eat Water Enriched Foods

Adding foods that have water built into them is another great way to get all the water into your system. This is an easy way to drink more water without doing much more than switching foods a little bit. Some of the best foods to eat that are infused with water are cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, oranges, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, and bell peppers.

7. Pair Your Morning Coffee With A Glass Of Water

If you are a coffee drinker in the morning try adding a glass of water before you morning cup. This will bring your attention in finishing the glass because, let’s face it, coffee is needed. This will also add an extra cup of water to your diet to help you drink more water through out your day.

You can either use the app, a water bottle with markers on it, or a friend to keep you focused on your goals. But goals in general are a great way to keep us aware rather than just moving through out the day. So set goals in any way you can to help you drink more water.

9. Warm Lemon Water

This is a detox trick that a lot of diets recommend trying. Drinking warm lemon water at the beginning of your day and before you go to bed will help your body detox and help you digestive system. This is also a great trick to help you drink more water because it adds some flavor to your water and gives you a set time to drink the warm ups. Happy detoxing!

10.Drink Throughout The Day

Chugging a whole bunch of water at the end of the day doesn’t do a lot for your body. Sipping through out the day will help your body use that water instead of simply just passing it. Although drinking water is great, make sure it’s in a way your body will use it.
