Drinking water helps to regulate body temperature, prevents dry mouth, improves mobility, and reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, numerous individuals don’t get enough to drink in a day, negatively impacting their health. Here are five of a well service professional’s tips for drinking more water to ensure you’re appropriately hydrated.

Stay Hydrated With This Advice 

1. Use an App

There are many apps available that will remind you to drink water regularly. You can set them to create an alert at specific intervals — like every hour on the hour — to encourage you to stay on track with a hydration goal.

2. Start Every Day With a Glass

Drink a glass of water right after getting up in the morning. Your body will immediately begin using the liquid to lubricate your joints and eyes and maintain your blood pressure. 

3. Add Some Flavor

Some people find that water is boring and would rather drink something flavorful. Add some taste with a quick squeeze of lemon or by infusing some cucumber, strawberry, or melon in a bottle of water overnight. 

4. Carry a Water Bottle

Many public locations have drinking fountains available. However, you don’t want to have to find one every time you want a drink. Make it easy to hydrate consistently by keeping a water bottle with you at all times. Start with a small bottle and work your way up to a larger container as you progress toward your hydration goals.

5. Get Regular Well Services

Many people claim they don’t want to drink the tap water at home because it doesn’t taste good. You can mitigate flavors like iron and minerals by getting regular well services. A technician will turn hard water that gives off a strong odor and has a noticeable metallic taste into soft water that is more palatable. Plus, you can ask an expert to install a filtration system to improve the flavor further.
