20 Tips For Getting Your 8 Glasses of Water Daily
Sometimes drinking our eight glasses of water a day can be
a real challenge Here are 20 tips to help you accomplish that feat! It is
said by many beauty experts that drinking your water is the cheapest, quickest
way to look better! That should motivate us!
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, insulated water bottle full on
your desk and reach for it all day.
4. When you have juice (apple, grape, or orange) 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, and it lets time pass till the craving
fades.
6. Have one glass every hour on the hour while at work. When the work day
is done your water quota is met.
7. Substitute a cup of hot water with a drop of honey for tea or coffee.
8. While at work, get a 20 ounce cup of ice and keep filling it up from the
office water cooler. The key is drinking with a straw - you take bigger gulps
and drink much more.
9. Freeze little bits of peeled lemons, limes, and oranges and use them in
place of ice cubes - it's refreshing and helps get in a serving or two of
fruit.
10. After each trip to the restroom, guzzle an eight-ounce glass to replenish
your system.
11. Don't allow yourself a diet soda until you've had two to four glasses
of water. You will find that you won't want the soda anymore or that just
half a can is enough.
12. Let ounces of water double grams of fat: When eating something containing
10 grams of fat, I drink 20 ounces of water.
13. Drink two full glasses at each meal, one before and one after. Also, drink
one glass before each snack so you don't eat as much.
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 beautiful gold-rimmed glass and fill it with cold water from the
tap.
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. If you don't finish, drink it in traffic on the way home -
it's like a race.
18. Always keep a 24-ounce 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., 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.
