10 Tips to Help You Increase Your Daily Water Intake<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Make a routine! Wake up, drink 8 oz of water, take your vitamins, drink 8 oz of water, drive to work, drink 8 oz or water, go to the bathroom, drink 8 oz of water\u2026\u2026 You get the idea!\u00a0 Before you know it you will be over 30oz of water in!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Add Flavoring! Water can get kind of boring so spice it up a little – add some fresh berries, lemon and or lime juice, fresh mint from the garden that grows like weeds! Make every other bottle colorful and flavorful – get creative!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Eat your water!\u00a0 Cucumbers, oranges, bell peppers, watermelon, spinach, blueberries\u2026.. all contain high water content – add some fresh fruits & veggies in as snacks to help keep the hydration flowing, not to mention getting your rainbow of colors in for the day!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Set hourly goals!\u00a0 By 10 AM have 20 oz down, lunchtime 40 oz down, 2 PM 60 oz etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Take water with you EVERYWHERE you go!\u00a0 Don\u2019t leave it in the car while food shopping – take it with you (BONUS you are less likely to impulse buy if you are feeling full!) Going for a walk – take your water. Play a game at a work meeting!\u00a0 Everytime a \u201cbuzz word” is said – DRINK UP! Who said meetings have to be boring?!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Set Reminders or use an app!\u00a0 Set reminders\/alarms on your phone to keep you consistent with drinking or invest in an app that helps both keep track and remind you when it\u2019s time to guzzle!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Spice up your foods!\u00a0 Nothing helps you drink more water than being thirsty – so why not spice up eggs, grilled chicken or tofu with some sriracha or spicy salsa to help get those oz in!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    Pay attention to your body!\u00a0 The color of your urine can tell you a lot about how your body is feeling.\u00a0 Light yellow is usually a good indicator of being hydrated, the darker the urine the more your body is telling you, IT\u2019S TIME TO DRINK! (Keep in mind some medications and vitamins can change the color of your urine)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  9. \n

    Have water easily accessible! Purchase 33 oz bottles at the beginning of the week – reuse all day. Get an in-home water cooler or filtration system so you can go directly from the tap.\u00a0 Whatever works for you, but convenience is key, so make it easy for yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  10. \n

    Drink (water) and Drive! Set a goal of 12 oz for around town driving – you can\u2019t get out of the car until it\u2019s gone – so what if you look a little weird sitting in the driveway drinking – you\u2019ve got water goals to crush for the day!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
