Struggle to drink enough water? Here are some tips to help you drink up! I dont mean heading to the nearest happy hour by the way. - Add Your Own Flavour Lets be honest, water can be pretty boring. But instead of using the flavouring agents you see in stores, opt for something more natural, like watermelon chunks and mint or orange slices. To intensify the taste even more, let it sit for a few hours in your fridge. - Order Something Spicy Adding chilli flakes to your plate will have your reaching for the glass of water multiple times through dinner. Plus, studies show that chilli give your metabolism a boost, bonus! - Use Your Phone Yep, theres an app for that. In fact, there are several. Try Waterlogged for iPhone or Water Your Body (for Android and iPhones). Not big on apps? Just set a few alerts on your phone throughout the day to remind yourself to hit the water cooler. - Keep it Close Lets be real, if youre stuck at your desk all day or on the road travelling for hours, youre not going to make it a priority to go get water very often. The fix, always keep a big bottle of water on your desk, in your car or bag so you have no excuse. - Be Prepared at the Gym Always keep a water bottle in your gym bag (don’t forget to empty it out after each session). Having your water with you will make you more inclined to grab a few sips throughout your workout, helping to prevent dehydration. Because you’re sweating, because you’re working out hard. Right? - Think of Your Wallet Make a pact to only order water at restaurants and youll save calories and cash. - Eat Your Water It isnt exactly cheating, you can technically hydrate with water-rich foods like cucumbers, melons, celery or even soup with a light broth. - Consider it an Appetizer Drinking a glass of water before meals can help you lose weight, according to a 2010 study in the journal Obesity. This is because it will make you feel full and help prevent overeating. Just knowing that drinking up can help you eat less could be enough motivation to grab a glass. - Make it Part of Your Night Out If youre out at the bar, you already know you should be alternating a glass of water for every cocktail (right?). But make it a habit to always drink at least one more glass of water before bed when you get home. Not only will it help you rehydrate after drinking, but itll make your hangover suck much less.
