Water impacts cognitive and organ function, bodily systems, the skin, and more, which is why you need to drink the daily recommended amount. Remembering to do so can be difficult—luckily, there are plenty of ways to help you consume more. Below, you’ll find a few tips to ensure you drink eight 8-ounce glasses every day.

How to Drink More Water

1. Flavor It

Many people avoid water because they’re simply not a fan of the taste. To overcome this, you can flavor the water with natural herbs, fruits, and veggies. Mint, cucumber, lemon, ginger, and thyme are all popular options. Mash the herbs to unlock flavor and stir everything well while the water cools so you get a delicious, refreshing taste.

2. Set Reminders

It’s easy to forget to drink water while you’re on the go, so set timers on your phone to remind you. If you have a water bottle on hand, you’ll be reminded to take a sip. Do this between meals and adjust the timers as needed so you drink at a comfortable pace. It’s better to sip than chug to avoid getting bloated, and you can couple the timers with a mobile app to track the frequency and quantity.

3. Fit It Into Your Routine

You can create games and schedules to consume enough water. Keep a glass beside your bed and drink it when you wake up. Have a bottle on your desk and drink from it every time you get up. Order water with meals to save money and commit to drinking it alongside other beverages like coffee or soda. It will keep you hydrated, naturally wash your teeth, and help you feel generally better.
