8 Tips To Drinking More Water (Aim for 80+ ounces per day):
- Carry a water bottle around with you
- Get a big cup so you only have to fill it up 2-3 times per day to easily keep track of how much you are drinking
- Drink out of a straw
- Flavor your water with fresh fruit, cucumber, mint or lemon
- Drink a cup of water first thing in the morning when you wake up
- Drink water with every meal and snack
- Use the color of your urine as a hydration indicator (if it is bright yellow, you need to drink more water)
- Have water at your desk at work
