Drinking water can do wonders for the body. Not only does it hydrate you from the inside and out, but it costs almost nothing to consume. So, if you struggle to drink more water because you have a busy lifestyle or do not like the taste, keep reading. To know my four best tips for staying hydrated.
What made you want to consume it more?
It all started a few years back when I decided to be healthier. I was tired of feeling bloated and sluggish -plus, reading about the benefits of consuming it motivated me to do better. And so the rest is history.

4 Things you can do to help you drink more water
1. Pace Yourself
If you work at Starbucks or a job that requires lots of standing, it’s important to pace your intake. If you don’t, your bladder will not be happy – instead, take sips throughout the day. Rather than gulping down large amounts in a short period -because the last thing you need is having to use the restroom, and there’s none in sight
2. Invest In A Personalized Bottle Or Jug
If you need something portable, invest in a water bottle or jug. Which are not only affordable but are great reminders to stay hydrated. Especially the ones that have motivational quotes written on them. If you need help finding them, you can easily buy them from Amazon, Target, and other retail stores.
3. Infuse fruits or vegetables
Infusing your water with fruits or vegetables is perfect for adding flavor, especially if you do not like the taste of it. Or let’s say you do, but you need variety – so the next time you want to jazz up your water, incorporate some of your favorite fruits or vegetables.
4. Eat foods that contain it
Another easy option for staying hydrated is eating more foods that contain water. So, for me, my favorite food to eat for hydration is watermelon. It’s sweet, hydrating, and offers tons of nutritional benefits for the body. But if you do not like watermelon, try cucumbers, tomatoes, watercress, apples, celery, etc.
In conclusion…
Though I may not be perfect, I still try to stay hydrated -because even on days I miss a few ounces, I do not get discouraged. So, if you made it to the end of this post and enjoyed reading it, leave your thoughts in the comment section. And any other tips you have for staying hydrated – so with that said, you all have a great day, and until my next post, toodles!
Definitely, fruit or mint added to the water, other herbs help! Then it is no longer ordinary water, but delicious water!
Thanks for sharing these helpful tips! For me it also helps to make sure I always have a glass of water or bottle with/next to me. It’s a small reminder to take a sip every now and then.
Also making sure I drink a glass of water immediately after getting out of bed, makes me start the day in the right way 🙂
This is true. I started drinking more water and my skin started glowing. I wish more people would do it.
People think I’m crazy…I love water. Plain. And cold. But I do love the occasional fun flavor packet. We have so many water bottles it’s almost embarrassing lol
Good tips! When I first had a hard time drinking water it really helped for me to infuse with lemons. Now I use a 32 fl oz bottle to make sure I get my water intake. Good Post!
