Try to greet the day with water. When you wake up in the morning, your body is thirsty, even if you don’t feel overly thirsty. You have not had water in about 8 hours. It is a good time of day to get a glass in and get started on those ways to drink 8 glasses of water a day. This should be one of your easiest glasses to get in of the day.

Exercise will make you thirsty and that is a good thing. That is because when you exercise, you are sweating and losing fluids. You need to replace them. The way to do that is by drinking water. I always keep a water bottle near me during my daily workout.

Yes, I said install an app. About a year ago, I ended up in the ER with some health problems because I was dehydrated from not drinking enough water. That was not fun and I decided I did not want that to happen again. Getting my daily 8 became very serious to me at that point.

There are two ways you can reach for water before food. One is with your meals. Try to have a glass or at least a portion of one before you eat.

I am all about saving money and working to keep my grocery budget under control. One item I do not try this with is water. I believe that water is worth the price you pay if it will make you more likely to drink it. My favorite brands are just a little bit more than other brands but they are well worth it to me. I love Dasani and SmartWater.

One way to get you daily 8 in is to have your water close by and at hand. Take it with you wherever you go. If I go somewhere, you will almost always see a bottle of water sticking out of my purse. It helps you to get enough water in each day when it is easy access to you. When you have to be more intentional, it is another difficulty to deal with in getting your needed water.

Water should taste good. I love the taste of water, especially my two favorite brands. But there are ways that you can flavor it if you don’t like the clear and natural taste of water.

Getting enough water each day helps you to stay healthy. How do you make sure you get your daily 8? What do you do to make sure you enjoy them?
