Water Intake Challenge Tips and Tricks June 25, 2018
Another fun challenge with my sweet ladies! Make sure to check out My Life Well Loved and Stilettos and Diapers, who are helping me to host this water intake challenge! How are you doing so far? What troubles are you having?
Water Intake Challenge Tips and Tricks
If you didn’t know, staying hydrated is of HUGE importance. Why:
- Your body is made of about 60% of water. Keeping it at that 60% keeps your other body fluids in check: like blood and blood pressure, saliva production, and food digestion.
- It helps your muscles stay at peak performance. Shriveled muscle cells can’t perform as well!
- Drinking water instead of soda, juice or coffee lowers your overall calories for the day. It’s also a healthier option!
- A dehydrated body means dehydrated skin. Keep that skin young and glowing!
- It supports your kidney function.
- Sometimes when you’re feeling hungry, you’re actually dehydrated. Before every meal drink a glass of water to make sure you’re not eating unnecessary calories.
Here is your downloadable and printable PDF! Each glass stands for 8 glasses of water a day. Here are some tips and tricks to getting in more water:
- Every time you grab for a Starbucks, soda or juice replace it with water instead.
- Set a reminder or alarms for every two hours to remind you to drink a glass.
- Before any meals or snacks, grab a glass of water.
I promise, if you stay with this you will see a difference in your skin and how you feel!
I need to start tracking. I used to be really good about drinking water, but haven’t as much lately. When we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago, and the temps were over 100 (Arches National Park), I started to get dehydrated and felt really bad for a day or two. I started guzzling the water and it helped a lot!
Water. Ugh. I don’t like it by itself. I drinking sparkling. I drink flavored – no calories – anything to get it down…. But flat plain water unless I am super thirsty. Not really into it.
I LOVE water! I have a 32 oz yeti cup and I refill it at least 4 times or more per day. Great idea for a challenge! We all need to drink more water 🙂
I need to increase my water. It makes such a huge difference for me especially when I am trying to lose weight.
Great way of tracking your water intake! I certainly need to start tracking how much water I’m drinking – I’m sure it’s not enough…
I really want to get one of these – I love smoothies, particularly in summer…
I drink so much bottle water…Always keep one handy in my bag to quench my thirst. so important to keep hydrated especially with all the sun we are currently seeing x
Water is such an important thing to drink…I should start tracking it. That would help so much!!
I e got to do better with my water intake. I really like this challenge
I was totally thinking about doing a better job tracking my water intake this morning. I’m so glad you shared this challenge – perfect timing! 🙂
How cute are you two in your matching workout clothes! I also love this challenge, it’s much needed for summer.
