We have all heard so many times that we should drink more water; but do you hate drinking it? Do you forget to do so all the time? The solution might be easier than you thought; here is how:
First of all, let’s see why your body needs water:
- Improved brain performance
- Better digestion
- More energy
- Decreased joint pain
- Better temperature regulation
- Detoxification
- Healthier heart
What happens if your body isn’t hydrated enough?
- Mental Fog
- Increased Risk of Stroke
- Moodiness
- Overeating
- Slower Metabolism
- Headaches
- Skin Damage
Instead of just forcing yourself to drink more water, try doing these:
Drink coconut water which is one of the healthiest drinks on the planet
Add a bit of juice to the water.
Use flavored ice cubes instead of regular ones.
You can also drink herbal tea; hot or iced however you enjoy it more.
Pay attention to simple carbohydrates that, in the right quantities, can help your body absorb fluids and use later.
Eat more fruit and vegetables containing a large amount of water like:
- Cucumber
- Watermelon
- Iceberg Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Bell peppers
- Cantaloupe
- Kiwi
- Apple
- Grapefruit
Here are some of the foods that will make you dehydrated:
- Processed Foods
- Food that are loaded with sodium like soy Sauce and pickles
- Foods that are high in sugar
So try to avoid overeating them.
Last but not least, for a better and balanced function, try adding foods containing electrolytes to your diet; like:
Sunflower seeds, dried apricots, lentils, spinach, potatoes, beans, almonds, peanuts and many more.
