We all know we should be drinking more water, but what if it’s hard to get your goal in every day? We’re sharing 10 tips to drink more water so you can feel the benefits and get the most out of your healthy lifestyle!

WHY DRINK MORE WATER?

Water is vital to every system in the body. In fact, your body is about 70% water so staying hydrated is important for everything from cellular function to joint health.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I DRINK?

Water needs vary for each person and depend on factors such as height and activity level, but a good starting point is half your body weight in ounces of water. If you’re very active or live in a hot climate, you may need to drink more water!

10 TIPS TO DRINK MORE WATER

1. Have a glass of water on your nightstand and drink it in the morning as soon as you wake up.

2. Keep a reusable water bottle with you and drink from it often.

3. Every time you finish a glass/bottle of water, refill it. Never let it sit empty!

4. Set a reminder in your phone if you have a hard time remembering to hydrate.

5. Drink a glass of water before each meal.

6. Flavor your water with fresh fruits and herbs. Popular options include:

Cucumber-mint
Raspberry-lime
Strawberry-kiwi
Lemon

7. Use an app to track your water intake.

8. Invest in a filter. Most people have tap water that’s safe to drink, but that doesn’t always mean it tastes good. Even an inexpensive pitcher-style filter can make tap water palatable and refreshing.

9. Choose sparkling water over soda. If you love a fizzy drink but you’re trying to avoid soda, there are plenty of sparkling water options!

10. Eat more water-rich foods! Get a boost of nutrition with a shot of hydration with water-rich foods such as:

Cucumber
Zucchini
Lettuce
Celery
Cabbage
Watermelon
Honeydew Melon
Cantaloupe
Grapefruit
