Hydration Essentials: Boost Your Water Intake for Optimal Health

Human beings need fluid to survive. You should drink natural fruit juices and teas when you want something with flavor. Water is the best fluid you can drink for the health of your body. It has no calories and it is the best at replenishing fluids lost during the course of a day. It also quenches thirst more effectively than other drinks. Drinking more water is an effective way to lose weight and stay healthy. You should drink at least six glasses of water per day.

Instructions

• 1

  Carry a water bottle with you. If you always have a water bottle nearby, you can easily drink more water. Refilling it is as simple as finding a tap.

• 2

  Keep water or a healthy juice nearby when spending time on a computer or watching television. You will drink it while distracted by whatever you are doing, and your fluid intake will increase easily.

• 3

  Drink water or juice with your meals, instead of soda or anything else. This will add at least one glass per day to your total, and possibly two or three.

• 4

  Eat more fruits and vegetables. Many of these healthy foods contain a lot of water. For example, watermelon is comprised of more than 90 percent water. Tomatoes and cucumbers are also good sources of water.
