How to Increase Your Water Intake

1. Set Goals 

According to recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics, women should consume approximately 91 ounces of water per day, while men should consume about 125 ounces. If this seems impossible to achieve, try to work your way up to it. Creating goals that you can reasonably reach will often serve as enough motivation for you to start consuming more water.

2. Add Some Flavor 

If it’s difficult for you to drink plain water, try adding different flavors to it. You can infuse a water bottle or pitcher with fruits, such as lemon, lime, orange, strawberry, or mango. The extra flavor may be just what you need to begin enjoying water. 

3. Drink a Glass Before Each Meal 

Make it a habit to start every meal off with a glass of water. This will not only add several ounces to your daily intake but can also help curb your appetite. You may often think you’re hungry when what you really need is water.
