4 Ways to drink more WATER!
As a trainer & coach I find this to be a common challenge clients face. Trying to hit your daily water requirements isn’t always easy when we are busy at work or faced with more important life task. So why do we need to drink water? Preventing dehydration is first and foremost. Our body is made up of 60% water which why this fluid is so vital to your body’s function. We also need water to help with energy levels, expel toxins and keep the body functioning correctly.

So… here are 4 ways to drink more water….

#1 Add your own flavour 
If you dislike the boring taste of water opt for a natural hint of flavour. Some of my favorites include mint, blueberries, strawberries or lemon slices. A perfectly healthy way to bring your water to life.

#2 Make your water bottle your best friend 
One of the best ways to succeed with water is to have a bottle with you! Water bottles are an excellent way to increase your intake. Be sure to get a high quality one even if it costs you a little more. A good stainless steel or heavy-duty BPA free plastic bottle should do the trick. Try to buy a 1 litre size as well to help you easily workout how many bottles you need to fill each day.

#3 Drink before & after each meal 

Drinking a glass of water before meals is a great one, not only does it help you drink more, but it also helps you to feel fuller. Feeling more satisfied can prevent you over-eating and promote weight loss. A perfect new habit to adopt in 2016!

4# During Exercise 
If there is one thing I’ve found that works for me, it’s sipping water in-between sets during exercise sessions. It is easily one of the most successful techniques to increasing your daily water intake and replenishing your H2O as you sweat through a great session!
