Water tips

I have found a few different things that help me want to drink water throughout the day. They are very simple but they really work!!

Make sure your water is the right temperature for you!
Although ice water is so refreshing, sometimes I don't drink ice water because it hurts my teeth and makes me cold. I don't like warm water so I try to make my water chilled but not freezing.
What temperature do you like your water?

Find a water bottle or cup that you like!
Do you like drinking out of a straw?  Do you like a small water bottle mouth or a big one? If it bothers you that your water bottle gets sweaty and gets everything in your purse wet, then buy an insulated one. Buying a water bottle that you love is worth the $12 - $20 you will spend! Even though that can sometime feel like an unnecessary purchase, it will be so worth it and your body will thank you!

Flavor your water!
If you get bored of the water flavor or want to taste something yummy toss some fresh fruit in your water. Strawberries, limes, lemons, cucumbers, and oranges are some of my favorites!
How do you like to flavor your water?

Have Reminders through out the day to drink water!
If you need to set an alarm on your phone, do it! Find little tricks like every time you go in the kitchen to drink a glass of water. Fill up your water bottle before you drive somewhere and use the drive time to drink up. (This is way safer when you choose to drink out of a straw) Have a checklist next to your sink to keep track of how much water you have had during the day.  Those are all just examples of things that you could try out and see what works for you.
What reminds you to drink enough water?

Make drinking water convenient for you!
All of these things that I listed above seem like little things but they add up, and definitely have an impact on the amount of water I drink daily. It is so helpful to find simple ways that help you want to drink water! When I make drinking water convenient for me, I enjoy drinking water and my body is happy with me for fueling her!


Accept the fact that when you drink lots of water, you will use the restroom... A Lot

Bye for now, I am going to go drink a glass of water with strawberries in it!
