Summer is quickly approaching and we’re all feeling the heat! One of the best ways to stay healthy this time of year is to stay hydrated.
Water lubricates our joints so we can stay active and pain free, it produces saliva which aids in proper digestion, it flushes our system of waste and toxins to keep us feeling healthy.
Here are 4 delicious, healthy, and fun ways to make sure you’re drinking enough water and staying at peak performance:
1. Switch up you side dish
Try working in a cucumber salad or watermelon salad. Raw, whole foods that include a high amount of water per serving are a delicious way to eat more water.
2. Experiment with seasonal infusions
Seasonal produce is fresh, readily available, and often less expensive. Strawberries are in season in Colorado right now and cherries are soon to come! Try infusing a pitcher of water with fresh strawberries and keep it cool in the refrigerator when you want a hydrating treat. Explore other seasonal infusions as the summer progresses.
2. Spruce up your nightstand decor
What if, instead of reaching for your phone when you first woke up, you reached for a glass of water? A bedside carafe on your nightstand offers both function and style. Fill it before you go to bed and set yourself up for success.
4. Keep water bottles handy in the places where you need them
In addition to the one on your nightstand, stash one in your backpack and in your gym bag, leave one in your car and at your desk. The more convenient it is, the more likely you are to reach for it.
