Tips for Increasing Your Daily Water Intake

Everyone has heard the line that water is good for them and that they should drink more water. Most are even familiar with the "eight glasses a day" rule. However, very few people even come near drinking enough water daily. Instead sodas, coffees, energy drinks and teas have overpowered drinking water. Even the bottled water companies are trying to convince you that only their brand is sanitary. Nowadays, when everything seems like a ploy or a scheme to make money, how can you figure out what is true, and how do you know what to believe? First off, with a simple filtration system, like Brita, which can be purchased at Wal-Mart or any store similar to Wal-Mart for under forty dollars; this filtration system makes tap water perfectly safe and sanitary to drink. You can even apply a filtration system that automatically flavors your water to peach, raspberry, or strawberry. Now the real question is how do you drink eight glasses of water a day when water seems so unappealing. Here are ten tips to help you win your war on water.

1. Whenever you are going to be seated or in the same position for an extended period of time, for example at your desk at work, have a glass of water with you. If it is there you will take sips out of it during the entire time that you are seated. If it is there you will drink it, it is as simple as that. Cold water is preferable because it is more appetizing than warm water.

2. Keep a water bottle with you when driving in the car. This is a great way to add more water to your day on your commute both to and from work everyday.

3. Add lemon or lime to your water. Fresh lemons and limes are extremely cheap and they add so much flavor to the water that you will barely remember that you are drinking water at all. By adding a flavor to the water it allows you to think you are drinking something else, therefore you will drink more without even realizing it.
