Water treatment ensures what’s flowing from your taps tastes as fresh as possible. Whether you recently scheduled filtration services or have enjoyed fresh-tasting water for years, drinking enough of the vital liquid each day is essential. Dehydration causes a range of health effects, including headaches, dry skin, fatigue, dizziness, and vomiting. Aim to drink at least half a gallon of water each day with these tips.

How to Drink More Water

1. Make It a Morning Ritual

Get into the habit of starting every morning with one to three glasses of water. You’ll let go of that groggy feeling much sooner because water wakes up the brain and organs to get you ready for the day. Cold water, in particular, jump-starts your metabolism to help you burn calories more efficiently.

2. Always Have Water With You

Invest in a high-quality, 40-ounce water bottle made of stainless steel or dishwasher-safe plastic. It’s easy to sip water throughout the day when you always have a bottle with you. If your office has not undergone water treatment, bring reserve bottles with you.

3. Add Some Flavor

Make your water more appealing with raw fruit and vegetables. Add a twist of lemon or throw some clean blueberries and strawberries in your glass. Slice up a cucumber to make your water even more refreshing. You can also add raw honey and apple cider vinegar to your water to create a cleansing health drink.

4. Drink a Glass Before Every Meal

Drink one tall glass of water about a half hour before you consume a meal to increase your liquid intake and decrease your appetite. Many people mistake thirst for hunger and end up eating more during meals. Drinking water before a meal is the perfect way to avoid this issue.

5. Download an App

Consider downloading one of the apps designed to help you drink water, such as Waterlogged or Drink Water. These apps let you set daily drinking goals, plan an intake schedule, and offer reminders to drink more water, among other helpful features.
