Step 2: #2: Flavored Water

Flavoring your water can help you enjoy drinking water more while getting in your daily fluid consumption. Some easy healthy flavorings are:

Lemon/Lime juice: Lemon and lime juice are great sources of vitamin C and a squirt of lemon or lime juice is a great way to add a little pizzazz to your water.

Ginger: Slices of ginger or ginger extract in your water can also help with the taste factor as well as the great benefits of ginger in your body.

Fruit Juice: Adding a little fruit juice to your water helps lower not the sugar content of just drinking plain juice but still improves the taste of your water.

Emergen C: Emergen C is full of vitamin C and electrolytes which makes it a great choice for flavored water.

Other ways to flavor your water are herbal tea, zero-calorie vitamin water, and coconut water.

Note: Avoid sugary beverages such as soda, sweetened coffee, etc. as they will dehydrate you instead of hydrating you!

Step 3: #3: Cute Water Bottle or Cup

Another way to drink more water is is to get and use a cute water bottle or cup. Having a portable water container that you can carry it with you not only motivates you to drink more but makes the water readily available. I ordered this bottle from Amazon and it's great. I can put hot or cold beverages in it without is losing much heat (or cold) over time.
