How to create a daily water habit

---

Do you find it hard to remember to drink enough water? Well, you’re not alone.

Drinking water is one of the best things we can do for our health and wellbeing on so many levels, but we often find it hard to remember to drink the amount we need to stay hydrated.

Luckily for you, there are some really simple ways you can trick your body into:

• WANTING to drink more water,
• REMEMBERING to drink more water, and
• ENJOYING drinking water again

Do you always start your day with a cup of tea of coffee? Have a bath or a shower, morning or night, and brush your teeth twice a day? Well why not have a glass of water at the same time!

When you wake up have a glass of water. Add another one in when you have your morning coffee, and so on and so on. When you brush your teeth in the morning and again at night. After your shower, and before or after every meal. There’s eight extra glasses there…and we’ve only just scratched the surface.

Once you’ve include drinking water to your existing daily routine you’ll be surprised just how quickly 8 glasses a day becomes second nature.

When you invest in a good water bottle you can take your water with you anywhere, anytime, avoid the expense and environmental impact of bottled water and keep track of your daily water intake.

Invest a high-quality bottle, one that you can easily clean and will last for years, and if you are on the go a lot get two of them, so you always have a clean one filled with pure filtered water, ready to go in the fridge.

If you’ve worried about drinking water from a plastic bottle that’s been sitting in the sun you can also choose from stainless steel or glass water bottles.

Not all water needs to be ingested in liquid form. There are many fruits and vegetables choc-full of water which can all help boost your water intake, such as: watermelon, rockmelon, grapes, cucumber, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, citrus, spinach, strawberries, cherries and zucchini. But keep in mind that cooking fruit and veggies reduces their water content, so they are best eaten raw.

Drinking before you eat not only helps you create a habit, but it increases your water intake by at least three glasses of water a day, and fills you up before meals, which can also help you lose weight.

Every time you go to the bathroom, remember to drink a glass of water.

This will not only remind you to drink more, but also make you go to the bathroom more, which in turn makes you drink water more. Which is a win/win for your hydration.

Even a night out on the town can be a boost for your hydration if you remember to drink a glass of water for every alcoholic drink you consume.

Not only will you stay hydrated, but you’ll save money…and you’ll probably thank us in the morning!

Creating new habits take time and what works for others, might not work as well for you.

But we can guarantee whatever tricks you use to create your habit of drinking water, you’ll feel better at every single level.

Creating your daily habit of drinking water isn’t as hard as you think…you’ve just got to know how.
