How to drink more water .. The Most Effective ways
After a little research, it is clear that no one really knows where the saying that you should drink 8 cups of water a day comes from. Some people trace it back to a study in the 1980s, and other people claim that doctors started telling people that amount because it was a good target, but they didn't have any scientific research to back it up.
Either way, the point is clear, water does wonders for your body and brain. Water is known to cleanse the body of harmful chemicals through the intestines and also throughout the urinary tract. Without adequate water intake, our bodies break down very quickly, in a matter of days. However, without food, some people can live for a week or two. That just shows how important water is to our bodies.
Here are 3 quick tips to drink more water.
1. Always have water available.
I like to buy the 12-ounce water bottles and store them in the refrigerator. Whenever I go to the gym I have a bottle. On the way to the door from work, I grab a bottle. Before a trip that will last 30 minutes or more, I have a bottle. When I watch a movie, I have a bottle.
Whenever I am sitting watching TV or a movie, I will keep the bottle in my hand without the cap. I take many sips until the bottle runs out. A great way to ensure you drink more water is to make sure it is easily accessible.
2. Keep it cold.
I don't know many people who like to drink water at room temperature, certainly not. If you keep the water cold, you will drink more. I make sure there is always ice in my freezer, this makes it very easy to have a glass of cold water at any time.
3. Choose water in restaurants.
Whenever I go out to eat, I always drink water with a little lemon. The lemon adds a bit of sperm to the flavor and the water is always nice, cold and refreshing. After a short period of time, you will stop craving your old drink and begin to appreciate the taste or lack of flavor that water provides.
Take a drink of the water and your body will thank you!
