5 simple steps to help you drink more water
Pretty much every morning I remind myself to drink more water and by the end of the day I’ve usually only managed to drink about 4 glasses.
We all know water is good for us. Amongst other things it’s great for your skin, helps ward off headaches caused by dehydration and even helps to counterbalance diuretic drinks such as tea and coffee, which make us need the loo more often.
I decided to be proactive and put a plan in place to make sure I do actually drink the recommended 1.5-2 litres water every day. This plan included drinking really cold filtered water, sometimes flavoured with fruit and setting my phone alarm to remind me to drink.
After following my plan of action
for a week, I can confirm that it
does really work.
I have had no headaches, my skin feels less tight and I do feel much better.
Here’s the plan:
- Buy a water filter jug for the fridge (and possibly one for your work fridge), so the water tastes fresh and cold.
- Use a tall glass or bottle to drink from to ensure you have access to more water even when you’re busy.
- Use the alarm on your mobile phone to remind you to drink and keep a tally chart of how many glasses you’ve had in your Dairy Diary.
- Add lemon or lime slices, or even some fresh mint to your water. It tastes delicious!
- Follow your tea or coffee with a glass of water.
