| This is my water bottle, complete with carrying handle! |
1. EAT WATER BASED FOODS
Apart from including eight to ten glasses of water in your daily diet, try including some water based foods. Celery, cucumber, melons, and leafy greens are great sources of water to your body. Don't forget soup!
2. USE A STRAW
Using a straw will help you to drink more water. Always, use a sipper glass with straw or a bottle with a straw. Eventually, you will see that you are drinking more water when you use a straw.
3. SET A DAILY GOAL
Don’t jump into the routine of including ten glasses of water in your everyday diet. In fact, start with a daily goal. Set a number and follow it. If you already drink two to three glasses of water daily, start by increasing the number by one or two. Eventually, you will reach the magic number of eight to ten glasses.
4. WATER APP TO TRACK PROGRESS
Smartphones really have everything readily available for you. If you love apps, then download Waterlogged for iPhone or Water-your-body for Android. These specialty apps are designed to help you in maintaining your daily water intake. These apps do send you notifications at regular intervals.
5. EAT SPICY FOOD
Eating spicy food will make you to reach your water pitcher multiple times a day. Add crushed pepper or chili pepper to your plate and enjoy drinking more water throughout the day.
6. ALWAYS HAVE YOUR WATER BOTTLE
This may sound funny to many of you, but keeping a cute bottle helps an individual to drink more water. When you have a bottle with you, you will continue drinking water at regular intervals. Klean Kanteen makes some wonderful stainless steel water bottles that last well, are easy to clean and reduce your exposure to plastic. Plus they make an insulated version, for those of us who live in hot climates or prefer our water cold!
7. MAKE YOUR OWN CUTE WATER BOTTLE
If you're a fan of adding some personal flair, then opt for making your own cute bottle. Buy a BPA free sipper or bottle and paint your name on it. If not, just stick your name or initials. This will surely motivate you to include a few more glasses of water in your daily diet. Stickers are also a great option. Besides making it personal and attractive, you'll always know which water bottle is yours in a crowd.
8. MAKE WATER YUMMY
Add in some slices of lemon, orange and a few mint leaves to your water. These refreshing fruits will make your water taste even better. Tru-Lemon is also a good option - it's an all-natural brand of drink flavoring available in unsweetened lemon. Remember - avoiding sugar in our fluids is an incredibly easy way to drop weight and reduce inflammation in our bodies!
9. WAKE UP TO WATER
Begin your day with a glass of water. Hydrating your body in the morning is as important as eating your breakfast. Also, this habit will allow you to keep the flow of drinking water all through the day. BONUS: it helps your digestion!
10. DITCH THE CAFFEINE
If you are used to taking more than a cup of coffee or tea a day, then replace it with a glass of water. By ditching caffeine and including more water, you will improve your metabolism.
