Either way,
the point is clear, water does wonders for your body, and your brain. Water is
well known to cleanse your body of harmful chemicals through your intestines
and also throughout your urine tract. Without proper water intake, our bodies
break down very quickly, in a matter of days. Without food, however, some
people can live for a week or two. That just shows how important water is to
our bodies.
Here are 3
quick tips for taking in more water.
1. Always
have water available.
I like to
buy the 12 ounce bottles of water and keep them in the fridge. Whenever I go to
the gym I grab a bottle. On my way out the door to work, I grab a bottle.
Before a trip that will be 30 minutes or longer, I grab a bottle. When I watch
a movie, I grab a bottle.
Whenever I
am sitting watching TV or a movie, I will keep the bottle in my hand with the
lid off. I take a lot of little sips until the bottle is gone. A great way of
making sure you drink more water is to make sure it is easily accessible.
2. Keep it
cold.
I don't
know many people who like to drink room temperature water, I sure don't. If you
keep your water cold, you will drink more. I make sure there is always ice in
my freezer, this make it very easy to have a cold glass of water anytime.
3. Chose
water in restaurants.
Whenever I
go out to eat, I always drink water with some lemon. The lemon adds a little
spunk to the taste and the water is always nice, cold and refreshing. After a
short time you will stop craving your old drink of choice and will begin to
appreciate the taste, or lack of taste, that water provides.
Give water
a shot and your body will be thankful!
