7 Tips For Drinking More Water


Time to chat with you about how much water you really need to drink to stay hydrated AND to offer you 7 of my simple how-to tips for drinking more water every day!

But first, why am I talking about drinking more water anyway?

Water is the fluid that lubricates our systems and keeps us healthy and vibrant.

Think of a riverbed in a drought when it’s all dried up and cracking, where the water is so sparse that there’s no life in it.

Now compare your body to that riverbed and imagine what you are doing to it by not staying hydrated with enough water. Yup, soon enough it too will dry up, crack up and become uninhabitable.

So before you get to that sad state, let’s talk about how you will know if you’re not drinking enough good old H2O!

What’s important about recognizing dehydration?

The usual side effects of dehydration are dry mouth and thirst. And you can also look out for other signs of mild to severe dehydration (in that order) such as:

  • Low energy, fatigue and loss of muscle strength and endurance

  • Hunger (oftentimes can mean you are just really thirsty)

  • Headaches and decrease in memory and brain function

  • Decrease or no output of urine or urine that is dark, strong smelling or burning

  • Low blood pressure

  • Tachycardia or rapid heart rate

How do I increase my daily water consumption?

Easy! Just try these 7 tips for drinking more water:

  1. Drink 1 - 2 glasses of water first thing in the morning

  2. Keep a pitcher filled with filtered water for you to drink throughout the day in your fridge at home or on your desk at work

  3. Drink 8 oz of water before exercise

  4. Sip small amounts of water from your water bottle during exercise

  5. Keep glass bottles of water in your car, at the office, by your bed

  6. Add slices of fresh lemon, orange, cucumber or strawberry to your water or fresh mint

  7. Add Essential Oils to sparkling water for a fun twist on taste, or try iced herbal teas throughout the day
