No one is going to dispute that drinking water is a necessity of life. Here are 20 Ways To Drink More Water!
Do you struggle to drink enough water?
Our bodies are composed of 60% water so as you can imagine dehydration can be a big problem for people. Life can get busy and we forget to give our bodies what it needs to function properly. The fact is we need water and lots of it.
Drinking 8 eight-ounce glasses of water a day has lots of benefits too. Did you know that water affects your mood, reduces joint pain, and helps you lose weight? It also makes your skin look great, feeds your body, and in recent studies is shown to prevent some forms of cancer. That being said make sure the quality of your water is pure. I have been using a water filter
for 15 years and it is one of the few things I could not live without.
The question is, how are you going to remember to drink all the water that you need in one day?

Hi Janelle,
Great post! Water with a lemon slice is my beverage of choice! However, drinking water during the winter months can be challenging. To make sure I drink enough, I give myself one hour to drink a glass and then fill it back up.
Bridget…I love this idea! Thanks for adding to my list of ideas. I am confident you will be an encouragement !
Thanks for sharing this- I know I need to drink more water. Lately, the thing that’s helped the most is adding ice! I’ll have to try some of these tips.
Jessy…I love the idea of adding more ice! I am adding ice today and thank you for sharing!
For me it was filling up a pitcher of water before I go to bed. Then it had to be finished before I want to bed the next night. I learned to take a water bottle everywhere with me. Plus, giving up eating a lot of sugar allowed my body to enjoy and want water. Thanks for sharing at Let’s Get Real.
I love that idea Karen! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
