We all know it and still it remains one of the hardest parts of getting and staying healthy. Water. Those endless glasses that we are encouraged to drink. So, how can we drink over eight glasses, when most of us hate the sound of one?
It's really pretty easy. There are many methods you can use to "trick" yourself into drinking more water, or to just create a new habit. Below are those that I have either personally used, or those that were highly recommended to me by professionals. I hope these help you in your search for the mirage of health!
Fill two 32 / 33 oz water bottles with water, and place in the freezer overnight. In the morning take these out and carry with you in your car. With our temparatures in the 90s and 100s it melts fast, so at those stop lights, or waiting in those terrible long traffic lines, drink up the cold, icy water. It makes you feel better, quenches the thirst, and gets in a lot of water towards your daily goal. 2. Set a 2 drink limit Make the habit of drinking 2 (8 ounce) glasses of water before you eat any meal. This makes you eat less, helps your digestion process, gives you time to "cook" if you're the one doing the cooking, and if you do this every meal you are well on your way to a daily goal. This is a great method to use for over eaters. 3. By land or by sea No matter what kind of exercise you engage in (walking, running, biking, canoeing, hiking, etc) water is the one to travel with. This is an instant fluid replacement and keeps your mind alert. So, exercise in good health, with your water bottle by your side. 4. TV Temptations If you find yourself snacking while watching the tube, place a large bottle of cold water by your remote and when you reach for the chips, pretzels, or popcorn, reach for the water. It will keep you from choking, and also substitute for the high calorie, high sugar sodas. 5. Drive Through the Water When you have to order fast food (or if you just want to order it) save your kidneys and your pocket book by ordering water instead of soda. Ask for the large with plenty of ice. You'll be amazed at how refreshing and easy this one is! GOOD LUCK, and please let me know how this article helped you! Go To Page: 1
