You Are What You Drink
Drinking water is essential to good health, but many of us are not getting enough.
Did you know that over 60% of the human body is made up of water? That is a shocking percentage considering that water takes a backseat to sodas, and other sugar-laden drinks when it comes to what people are drinking.
To properly feed our bodies, and brains (the brain is over 70% water!), it is essential that we get adequate amounts of water into our systems daily.
Here are some tips for incorporating water for those who are more likely to turn to a carbonated drink over life-sustaining water:
Add Flavor
Adding lemon, lime, mint, fresh berries, or cucumber slices to water is a good way to switch it up so that you can be sure to get the ounces in!
Bathroom Break
Make a game of it, and have a glass of water whenever you take a bathroom break.
Drink Before You Eat
Having a glass of water between every meal helps with hydration, and can help to curb your appetite.
Use an App
Use a water tracking app to keep track of how many glasses you drink.
Eat Water-Rich Foods
Add water-packed foods to your diet, such as cucumber, celery, watermelon, and zucchini.
Get creative with ways to get your fill!
I hope you have enjoyed this information.
Until next time!
