How to Drink More Water
Want to live a healthy life? DRINK MORE WATER.
We all know we should drink water, but here are some reminders why:
- Water helps to regulate our body temperature through perspiration, which gets rid of excess heat and cools the body
- Water lubricates our joints--an important function if you are arthritic, have chronic muscular or skeletal problems, or are athletically active.
- Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat.
- Start your day with a big, tall glass of COLD water. Believe it or not, it will wake you up and may help you decrease the amount of coffee or tea you consume throughout the day.
- Drink a glass of water before each meal or snack. You will feel fuller faster and it will help aid in digestion.
- End your day how you started it. Before you go to bed, have one last glass of water. This will help your joints and muscles. Even with a hypersensitive bladder, your body will adjust quickly.
Think water is boring? Pour some lime, lemon or orange juice into ice cube trays. These flavored ice cubes are a great addition to water. There is also a growing popularity of vitamin fortified and flavored waters like:
- Vitamin Water by Glaceau
- Fruit Water by Glaceau
- Water Sensations
Just make sure and read the label of some of these "waters" because some of them contain calories and sugar.
We all love the taste of Starbucks' Strawberry Creme Frappucino, Arnold Palmer Iced Tea/Lemonade and Two Brothers Brewing Company's Domaine DuPage Ale, but your drink of choice should be water. Drink some today and everyday.
