Water - Tips for getting your 8 glasses dailyWater is the single most important catalyst for our health and wellbeing and many of us take it for granted.

Our bodies will not function properly without enough water and can’t metabolize stored fat efficiently.

Listed below are some tips to start getting you in the habit of getting your daily recommended intake of water:

  1. Make a bet with a co-worker to see who can drink more water in the course of a day.
  2. Have a big glass of water at every transitional point of the day: when you first get up, just before leaving the house, when you sit down to work, etc.
  3. Make it convenient – keep a big, plastic, water bottle full on your desk and reach for it all day.
  4. When you have juice, fill half the glass with water.
  5. When you have a junk-food craving, down a glass of water immediately. You feel full quickly and avoid the calories.
  6. Have one glass every hour on the hour while at work.
  7. Substitute a cup of hot water with honey for tea or coffee.
  8. While at work, get a cup of ice and keep filling it up from the office water cooler.
  9. Freeze little bits of peeled lemons, limes, and oranges and use them in place of ice cubes.
  10. After each trip to the restroom, guzzle a glass to replenish your system.
  11. Don’t allow yourself a diet soda until you’ve had two to four glasses of water.
  12. Let ounces of water double grams of fat: When eating something containing 10 grams of fat, drink 20 ounces of water.
  13. Drink two full glasses at each meal, one before and one after.
  14. Carry a small refillable water bottle at all times and drink during downtime; while waiting in a bank line, sitting on the train, etc.
  15. Use a gold-rimmed glass and fill it with cold water.
  16. Drink two glasses of water immediately after waking up.
  17. Bring a two-liter bottle of water to work and try to drink it all before you leave work.
  18. Always keep a bottle of water handy while watching TV, doing laundry, making dinner, etc.
  19. Add drinking two glasses of water to your daily skincare regimen. Drink, cleanse, moisturize, etc., and then drink again.
  20. Drink your water out of a big Pyrex measuring cup – it’s a good way to keep track of how much water you are drinking.
