How much water should you have in a day?
You are probably aware that it is crucially important to drink water. At least eight glasses in one full day. Although you should drink more when it is hot outside, or after a workout.
There are a few signs of dehydration that WEBMD says they are important to notice. Here are the signs:
- Thirst
- Dry mouth
- Sticky Saliva
- Dark colored urine
- Lack of energy
It can be very difficult to drink so much water that is healthy, and also the difficulty of keeping track. Although, the only way to make sure you are hydrated, we should strive toward those eight minimum glasses per day. Here are some tips to staying hydrated.
Add flavor!: Eventually it can get very boring and plain drinking all that water everyday. So to change things up, just add a teaspoon or less of lemon juice. Try not to add too much juice if that is your alternative, because of all the sugar content.
Keep your own Log: Post your number of glasses on a sticky paper or notepad, to keep track of how much water you drank. Put it either on your calender, or fridge. This way, there is no way you can miss it, and forget.
Club Soda: Some club sodas even have different flavors, but watch out for sugar amounts.
Drink water when you are hungry: Carry a water bottle around at all times! This will make it easy for you to fight cravings, and just drink some water to get you full. Take your bottle wherever you go. Like yard work, work desk, practice, walking, during meals, and anywhere you go.
