HOW TO INCREASE WATER INTAKE ??

HOW TO INCREASE  YOUR  WATER INTAKE ???

1. MAKE THAT TO- GO : 

When you are running tons of errands or juggling job responsibilities, it's harder to stay hydrated without giving in to readily available drinks. Fill a water bottle every morning and take it on your travels.

2. Drink water before every meal or snack.

One simple way to increase water intake is to create this healthy habit: before each meal, even breakfast or a snack, drink a half glass or full glass of water.

3.MIX YOUR OWN DRINK : 

Not a fan of plain water??? Treat your taste buds with any one of flavored waters.

4. ICE IT UP :

Another way to flavor plain water is to get creative with ice cubes. Jazz up water with frozen clementine slices or with ice cubes made from a no-sugar-added juice, like pomegranate. 

5. Say “no” to soda.

Whether your weakness is diet pop or regular soda, sipping these beverages can trigger weight gain—yes, even diet drinks! Banish soda from the fridge so that you’re less likely to cave to temptation. Instead, reach for water.

6.Sack the sports drinks.

Many store-bought sports beverages contain excess sugar or artificial sweeteners. Replace them with plain water.

7. Eat your water.

Drinking water isn’t the only way to increase water intake. Tomatoes, watermelons, cucumbers, celery, green peppers, cauliflower, and spinach are all foods high in water content. 

8. Choose carbonated water.

Sparkling water gives you the same bubbly feel as soda, without the calories or artificial sweeteners.

9. Drink unsweetened tea.

Tea beverages consist of water flavored with herbs or fruits. In fact, green tea is a super food known for its antioxidant power. 

10. Dilute juices.

Another way to increase water intake is to dilute the juice you drink. Adding water to no-added-sugar juice will reduce calories and help you boost water consumption.

11. Alternate your beverages.

If you’re hooked on drinking soda or coffee, or frequently attend events where you’ll be drinking coffee or alcohol, try this tip. Each time you finish a non-water drink, make sure your next choice is a glass of water. This keeps consumption of not-so-healthy beverages down and water intake up.

12. Set a timer.

It sounds simple and maybe silly, but when the schedule is packed it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. Set reminders on your computer or smartphone to take regular water breaks.
