Staying hydrated is not something that you need to fancy but is an essential routine for a healthy life. Having adequate water intake not only keeps you hydrated to optimum levels but also improves your mood, digestion, cognitive function and overall physical activity as well. Water flushes out the toxins from your body and helps you stay healthy and disease-free. Understand your body requirements and include proper intake of water in your lifestyle for a healthy mind, soul, and body. To help you with this, Lovely Drinks have come with simple and easy-to-follow tips that can follow and stay hydrated throughout the day.

Assessing Your Water Needs

It’s important to understand how much water intake your body needs. The needs are different for different individuals. Assess your adequate water needs and ensure compliance with it on a daily basis with consistency. According to research women needs around 2.5L - 3L of water while it’s 3L - 4L for men.  These are just the recommendations according to the studies. You must drink what your body is comfortable with. And how to check that?

The best way is to understand the signs your body says for dehydration.

-          How early do you start feeling dizzy or tired?

-          Your eyes, mouth or lips are getting dry?

-          Skin in cold, dry or cracked?

-          Have frequent headaches or muscle cramps?

These are some indications by the body that inform you that your body needs more water, and you need to add more water to your lifestyle immediately. Here’s how you can do it.

1.       Wake Up with a Glass of Water – After a long night’s sleep, it’s time to rehydrate yourself. Wake up, brush your teeth and start your day with a glass of water. You can have normal or lukewarm water. This not only helps you energize but also helps you get rid of the toxins that have accumulated overnight. Don’t wait till you feel thirsty. Just grab a glass of water and recharge your body.

2.       Keep a Bottle Handy – Always keep a water bottle by your side. Or, you can have some flavoured sparkling water drinks at home every time to get that instant energy and refreshment. Whether you’re working or gyming, having a water bottle handy will automatically ensure that you will drink it. While at work, make sure to keep it near your desk. Keeping water nearby or at arm’s length will make it easier to follow the routine and ensure optimum water intake.

3.       Add Reminders – It’s natural that while doing work we are so engrossed that we tend to forget drinking water. This can certainly be improved by taking short breaks or adding reminders on your phone. There are many apps available in the MarketPlace or Play Store that help you ensure adequate water intake by giving you repeated alarms. Also, this short break will give you a few minutes to stand up, relax and even give rest to your eyes.

4.       Include Juicy Fruits and Vegetables – Find your normal water boring? Why not partially replace it with juicy fruits and vegetables? This certainly will help you meet your water intake needs. You can add watermelons, strawberries, oranges, cucumbers, bell peppers etc all these food items are rich in water content. Consume them regularly to ensure your water intake is in check.

5.       Break the Monotony with Flavours – Add natural flavours to your normal water such as lemon slices or strawberries or even ginger for an added twist. Still looking for something more zingy?
