Water Intake - 5 Tips For Drinking More

How can you drink more water each day? Several suggestions come to mind.

#1 - Start your day with a glass or two of water.

#2 - Drink a glass or two of water prior to eating. This fills you up and you probably won't be able to eat as much. This is a "win-win" situation for you IF you are needing to lose a few pounds!

#3 - Purchase a BPA-free water bottle from your local sporting goods store. Choose one that has visible markings on the outside in ounces and/or milliliters so you can be aware of how much you have yet to drink. Then, carry or have your new water bottle with you everywhere! The environment will also appreciate this "green" gesture.

#4 - Since water is often substituted for by another beverage...If you stop at your favorite coffee shop each day, choose a smaller cup. Or, if you buy a pop in the vending machine at work each day, choose to carry to work an 8 ounce can purchased at the grocery instead of the larger size bottle you get from the machine. You'll save money and will likely be able to drink more water in both situations.

#5 - Recently our department where I work purchased a water cooler that has filtered and TASTY water. This past summer I "treated" myself to a home water filtering system. These two changes have made all the difference for me! Encourage your boss to "treat" you and your co-workers to great tasting, clean water. I know I enjoy the taste of the water much more and I'm more likely to drink it!
Life is about making small changes that make a big difference. Trying to drink more water will save you calories and money in the long haul. You will also feel better as a result. So, with the holidays approaching and all the additional calories from holiday food to "tease" us, making water the drink of "choice" will more likely keep the scale tipped in your favor!
