While the wonders of technology have made working and learning from home possible, it has changed the way you monitor your nutrition. The days of packing a lunch and grabbing bottled water before heading out the door have changed to leftovers from the night before or whatever is in your fridge. Ensure you hydrate properly while staying at home with these tips.

Top 4 Tips for Staying Hydrated in a Virtual Setting

1. Set a Schedule

Working or learning from home can be relaxing, but it also means you’re not following a routine like you would in the office or at school. Get your daily fill of water by a new schedule, whether it’s drinking a glass of water after each bathroom visit or before a meal. 

2. Add Flavors

If you struggle to drink the recommended eight glasses of water each day because you don’t like the lack of taste, add flavors to make it more appealing. You can choose from an array of flavor packets specifically designed to add to bottled water. Or if you like preparing a pitcher in the morning, cut up some juicy fruits, like lemons, berries, and oranges, to infuse your water for the day.

3. Keep Water Nearby

If you find yourself often parched with no water on hand, keep water nearby to encourage drinking.  Menehune Water provides water coolers that you can place anywhere in your home.  Our coolers do not need to be connected to a water line and will dispense even when the power goes out.  We also provide bottled water in convenient small sizes that make it easy for you to drink while you are working. 

4. Have a Glass When You’re Stressed

Many people have found it challenging to work or learn from home, and that, combined with uncertainty about the pandemic, has led to stress buildup. If you’re experiencing symptoms of stress, you’ll want to find ways to relax and improve your health. Since dehydration and stress levels are linked, one easy step is drinking more water. Hydration will also boost your brain and organ health. Remember to “Pause, Breath, and Smile.”
