Almost everyone knows that humans can’t survive more than three days without water. But most people don’t realize just how underhydrated they are. Are you aware that even minor dehydration can be responsible for such things as sleep problems, fatigue, and muscle cramps? How do you know if your problems are caused by a lack of hydration? The only way to find out is to increase your daily water intake. This article will walk you through some tips on how to drink more water, and several healthy habits you can adopt to keep hydrated.

Drink a Glass in the Morning

When you’re going about your busy, daily life, it’s easy to run out of time for drinking water. Most public places only have a water fountain at best, and the amount of water you can get from them is negligible.

The best way to combat this is to drink a large glass of water the first thing you do every morning. It’s not easy to drink a glass in one go, but you’re more likely to have the energy and time to do this in the morning. This will give you a massive boost to your daily water intake.

Carry Water Bottles

Most Americans have to get to work at six or seven in the morning. These people might not have time to drink a full glass of water. Everything they do — if they want to have a good night of sleep — needs to be focused on getting to work on time.

This is why these people should carry water bottles with them wherever they go. A water bottle is not only a way to drink water on the go, it’s a constant reminder that you need to drink water.

We recommend going with disposable bottled water. While reusable water bottles are nice, they’re more expensive and require maintenance. If you break, lose, or forget your disposable water bottle, you won’t be hydrating; and the cleaning they require can put you off from using them.

Drink Good Water

Not all water was created equal. When you’re drinking water from a water bottle, water quality matters. By drinking good water, you’ll find the water-drinking experience more pleasurable, inspiring you to drink even more.

Everything from where the water is sourced, the way it’s filtered, and the way it’s bottled can affect the quality/ taste of your water. We recommend going with water from a reliable company like Alexa Springs to ensure that you stay hydrated.

Learn How to Drink More Water

Drinking enough water to live is easy. Drinking enough water to stay at your maximum health potential is much more difficult.

Follow the above tips and you’re far more likely to keep yourself hydrated with the right amount of water. At the end of the day, it’s all about building new habits for yourself.
