Despite all the wonderful things water does for our body, we most times find it hard to meet the recommended daily intake. Just like fela has rightly written water has no enemy... Whether you like it or not we can't do without water... So here are some fun ways to boost your water intake!
#1. Drink With A Straw
A cool and interesting idea is to sip down your water with a straw! Apparently, drinking with a straw lets you sip in more in less time. So why not try it out!
#2. Replace The Boring Glass Of Water With High Water Content Food
Water, no matter how beneficial, is plain and gets boring beyond a point. So why not consider some good alternatives! There are ample of high water content food that can help you meet your body’s water requirement.
Hydrating fruits and veggies like watermelon, apple, broccoli, orange, berries, carrot and cucumber are amazing alternatives. Foods like cereals and grains also have a good amount of H2O.
#3. Cut Down On Coffee
Drinks like coffee and cola have a diuretic effect, and can leave you feeling dehydrated. It is advisable to skip that cup of coffee or glass of soda, and instead reach out for a glass of water!
