Tips for Upping Your Water Game:

  • Flavor it.Add fruit to your water. Lemons, limes and oranges are tried and true. Cucumber, watermelon, strawberries and herbs also are delicious options.
  • Tie it into a routine.Drink a glass of water every time you brush your teeth, eat a meal or use the bathroom.
  • Eat it. Many fruits and vegetables have a high water content, including melon, cucumbers, lettuce and celery.
  • Track it.Invest in a high-tech bottle that connects to your smartphone and records how much you drink. Or set an alarm as a reminder and track your intake in your calendar.
  • Challenge a friend.Kick off a healthy competition with a friend or your kids to see who can meet their guzzling goal most often.
  • Take it to go.It can be challenging to drink enough water when you are on the go. Fill your water bottle before you leave home, and bring it along on your daily travels.
  • Alternate your drinks.If you can’t give up soda or juice completely, try alternating with water. Each time you finish a glass of water, switch to soda or juice and vice versa.
