We all know that drinking water is
vital to our being. It keeps us hydrated and can also aid in manage
diabetes, weight loss as well as keep our skin, teeth, and gum
healthy. However, we are so busy that many times we forget to consume
water as much as we need. And there are those who simply hate
drinking water because they found it boring and flavorless.
According to research, through regular
day-to-day activities, we lose approximately 3-4 liters of water a
day. This includes the water lost through sweat, breathing, urination
and bowel movements. Health professionals recommend that we try to
drink 2 liters of water a day, but of course, this depend on your
size, lifestyle, and other contributing factors; drinking 4-6 glasses
of water may be just as good for you.
Below, we provide some tips on how to
make water taste better as well as increase your water drinking
habits.
Make water taste better with healthy
water flavor enhancers
Healthy water flavor enhancers
are a great solution that you can use to enhance the taste of water.
These products allow you to add both sweetness and bright new colours
to plain water, helping you to drink more water and stay hydrated.
Although you can use natural fruit
juice to make your water more appealing to drink, but depending where
you are, for example at work, it may not be possible to squeeze a
lemon, orange or lime into your water. Water flavor enhancers, on the
other hand, come in small bottles that fit in purses, pockets, and
drawers which mean they are easy to grab and use whenever you want.
Keep in mind that not all water flavor
enhancers available on the market are healthy. Many of them contain
high levels of sugar or sugar substitutes that can have a negative
effect on the body. A healthy option that I recommend is a water
enhancer made from organic stevia, purified water and that contain
zero calories.
Always carry a bottle of water with
you
One of the main reasons people don't
drink enough water is because they don't have water with them all the
time. So, keeping a bottle to hand may help you keep proper water
intake. Investing in a really nice re-usable bottle that you will
enjoy using may motivate you to carry water with you. I recommend you
to buy a water bottle made from stainless steel and that is insulated
to maintain water cold all day.
Order water in your nights out
This is a really great tip to help you
drink more water. Substitute alcoholic drink or sodas on a night out
with a glass of water. In addition to helping you stay hydrated,
drinking water is much healthier for your body and you will save
yourself from headaches in the next morning. If you find ordering
water instead of other beverages difficult when going out with
friends, make sure two hours before you go home you drink plenty of
water to prevent being dehydrated in the morning.
