I know how hard it can be to remember to drink enough water every day, but I also know how hard it can be to bounce back from the effects of being even mildly dehydrated. So I'd like to share a few easy tips to help you reach your "water mark" every day:
|
 | You are naturally thirsty i.e. “dehydrated” in the morning . . . help your body flush out the toxins it has been processing all night and take advantage of this thirst to get a “leg up” on your daily water requirements by drinking a glass of water first thing.
|
| If you are cold drink warm water instead of dehydrating coffee & tea.
|
| Don't wait until you're thirsty to have a drink – you are already dehydrated if you feel thirsty.
|
| Set a timer to remind yourself to establish a habit of drinking water and keep a bottle of water with you at all times.
|
| Compensate for diuretics . . . thieves that steal water from your body. If you drink coffee, tea, or sodas with caffeine, you'll need to drink a few extra glasses of water to make up for the water that these diuretic beverages "leech" from your system.
