No matter what you’re drinking, everyone needs to drink more in the summer. Increased heat will lead to an increased loss of fluids, throwing off your natural balance and leaving you feeling sluggish. While we recommend water, any liquid is better than none, so here are a few tips to drink more of whatever it is that keeps you going!
Be sure to have a drink with a snack or a meal, and choose a drink that you like. By choosing a drink that you like, you will want to consume it, and with a meal, you can help properly hydrate yourself. The absolute best thing to drink with a meal of any kind is water, but if you like a little flavor, iced tea is another one of our favorites.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. High water-bearing foods, like fruit, can account for up to 20% of our daily fluid intake. Eating more of these types of foods will help you properly hydrate, and stay healthy too!
Keep a water bottle on you at all times. The more you see the bottle, the more likely you are to drink out of it when thirsty or bored (it’s psychology). Just by keeping a bottle around, you will undoubtedly step up your fluid intake.
Drinking more water is all a mental game, and sometimes you have to trick yourself into doing it. Armed with these simple tips, we have no doubt in our mind that you will be able to keep yourself properly hydrated this summer.
While all liquids can be good for you, we believe that spring water is the absolute best, thanks to all of the natural minerals. To order your supply of our fresh, pristine spring water—straight from Glen Summit Springs—give us a call today!
