With summer days heating up, it’s now more important than ever to remain hydrated! Here are some simple ways to ensure that your body gets enough water:
Drink Water First Thing in The Morning
Start your day with a glass of water to jumpstart hydration.
Carry a Reusable Water Bottle
Having water nearby makes it easier to sip throughout the day.
Set Reminders
Use phone alarms or apps to prompt you to drink every hour.
Add Natural Flavor
Try infusing water with lemon, cucumber, berries, or mint to make it more enjoyable.
Eat Water-Rich Foods
Include fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumbers, oranges, and lettuce. These can add up to 20% of your daily water intake.
Be Mindful of Caffeine and Alcohol
These can have a diuretic effect and increase fluid loss, so balance them with extra water.
Adjust for Activity and Heat
You need more fluids if you’re exercising, sweating, or exposed to heat. Increase your intake accordingly.
