5 Easy Ways to Drink More Water
1. Start early. One of the easiest ways to begin to add water to your daily intake is by starting your day with it. While your coffee is brewing or morning tea is steeping, drink a glass of water.
2. Use a 1:1 ratio of water to other beverages. When you’re drinking something other than water, add water as well. Go for at least a 1:1 ratio of water to any other beverages; it will help increase your daily water intake, slow down the calories taken in from the other drinks, and help you feel full faster.
3. Sip water through a straw. Did you know you drink more through a straw than you do sipping from a cup? My advice to my clients is always to drink water through a straw and drink all other beverages by sipping from the cup. You’ll drink more water and less of the liquids that may contain excess calories.
4. Find the perfect water jug or cup. I have my favorite water cup: it’s the perfect size to fit comfortably in my hand, doesn’t sweat, is insulated to keep my water cool, and has a straw!
5. Drink, refill, repeat. Once you find that favorite cup, keep it handy. As soon as you’ve finished the water in your cup, fill it back up and repeat!
