On this day let’s look at some simple tips to drink more water:
- Choose Water – When eating out rather than choosing a cheeky glass of wine, or a fizzy drink, choose water. This will help to keep you hydrated and save you money
- Eat Foods high in Water – lettuce, watermelon and celery are all foods that have a high-water content while also containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
- Drink a glass before each meal – if you eat 3 meals a day and drink a glass of water before each meal you are increasing your water intake by 3 glasses a day. It also helps you to eat less calories which is a win win situation
- Don’t only drink when you are thirsty – Sip water throughout the day especially when it is hot, keeping yourself hydrated
- Flavour your Water – add flavour with a splash of fruit juice or some fresh fruit, this can make it more appealing to drink more especially if you find plain water tastes boring
- Buy a drinks bottle – I find while sat at my desk that if I have a bottle I tend to drink more throughout the day
Taking all the above into consideration, it would be such a waste of all that hard work from our Water companies if we didn’t take advantage of how lucky we are to have this luxury of Clean Drinking Water and try to keep hydrated and drink more!!
Happy Hydration Day!!!
