Drink 8 Glasses
Tips for getting your 8 glasses of water
daily:
- Make it convenient -- keep a big insulated water bottle full on your desk.
- Make your water bottles fun and nice quality, you're saving $'s anyway.
-
Make a bet with your family, friends or co-workers
to see who
can drink more water in a day. - Have a glass of water when you get up, when you leave the house, when you get to work, etc.
- When you have juice (apple, grape, or orange) fill half the glass with water.
-
When you have a junk-food craving, down a glass of
water. You will
feel full, avoid the calories and it lets time pass till the craving fades. - If you are a tech geek, get an app for your iPhone or smart phone
- Have a glass every hour, on the hour while at work. End of day = 8 glasses.
- Freeze bits of peeled lemons, limes, and oranges to use in place of ice cubes -- refreshing and helps get in a serving or two of fruit.
- After each trip to the restroom, guzzle an eight-ounce glass to replenish your system.
- Don't allow yourself a diet soda until you've had four glasses of water. You will find that you won't want it or a half of a can is enough.
-
Let
ounces of water double grams of fat: When eating
something containing 10 grams of fat, drink 20
ounces of water. - Drink two full glasses at each meal, one before and one after. Also, drink one glass before each snack so you don't eat as much.
- Carry a small refillable water bottle at all times and drink during downtime; while waiting in a bank line, sitting at the doctor's office, etc.
- Always keep your refillable bottle of water handy while watching TV, doing laundry, making dinner, etc.
- When relaxing after a long day, get out the fancy glassware, fill it with cold spring water and enjoy.
