Do you drink enough water each day? Proper hydration is always important, but in preparation for the upcoming hot summer months, we should all take a few extra precautions to ensure we are drinking enough water. Drinking enough water each day is crucial for a variety of reasons. Drinking water helps regulate body temperature, lubricates joints, prevents infections, delivers nutrients to cells, and keeps organs functioning properly. Hydration also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood. Experts recommend that women should drink roughly 11 cups of water per day and men should aim for 16. If these numbers are higher than you’re used to, check out these 3 tips on ways to make hydration a habit. 3 SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE HYDRATION A HABIT
2. ADD FRUITS OR VEGETABLES TO YOUR WATER If you’re the type to complain that water tastes too plain, know that there are many natural additives that can change this! Adding a zest of lemon or a handful of sliced cucumbers to your water can make this drink more fun. 3. SET REMINDERS ON YOUR PHONE TO HYDRATE Are you exceptionally busy during the day? Between work, taking care of children, running errands, and getting outside, summer can be a busy season. If you always have your phone handy, why not put it to a productive use? Try setting reminders every couple of hours to hydrate, so you don’t forget amongst all the summer fun.
1. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
Before eating breakfast or having your morning coffee, try to drink at least one glass of water. Just a few sips of water in the morning can help to re- energize you and leave you feeling refreshed. To make things easier on yourself, try placing a glass of water on your nightstand the night before, so you can start drinking immediately in the morning!
