Tips and Tricks on How I Keep Hydrated
Why should we keep hydrated in the first place?
It is important to become hydrated because it affects our overall health. According to University Health News, here are 6 benefits on why we should keep hydrated: improve physical performance, help you to lose weight, boost your mood, boost your brainpower, prevent headaches, and protect against disease.
TIP #1 Getting a water bottle
I always keep a water bottle with me in case I get hydrated. Using a recyclable water bottle or water container is much better. You'll also be able to refill them whenever you ran out.
TIP #2 Setting up a schedule
I have an alarm set up every hour to remind me to drink water every time because I usually forget to. It helps in making me drink a cup every time and it helps me finish a big, full bottle of water everyday.
TIP #3 Drinking a glass of water after waking up
My morning alarm also remind me to drink water as drinking water in the morning helps with digestion.
TIP #4 Replacing soda with water
Water is a better alternative for sodas that contain a lot of caffeine. Water would keep you better hydrated and you could get it at home easily.
TIP #5 Look for water fountains
Whenever your water bottle runs out of water, look for a drinking fountain to re-fill your bottle. You could also make it a rule to drink water whenever you see a water fountain.
TIP #6 Adding lemon or mint
Adding lemon or mint or maybe even both helps in making it bearable for me to drink water because I don’t like how water is tasteless in a way. Adding lemon slices to your water would also help in detoxifying your body.
It might get some getting used to in making drinking water as a daily habit but it would help you in the long run. Stay healthy and hydrated everyone!
