Stay super hydrated with these easy ways to drink more water.

After all that boozing, it’s time to rehydrate! Check out Aqua Pura’s top ten ways to increase your water intake.

Get fruity!

Add fruit slices to water bottles for a refreshing, naturally fruity taste. Lemon and lime wedges add a great citrus twist helping to make H2O more appealing.

Write it down

Keep a diary of how much water is consumed per 24-hour period. By tracking the daily intake, it highlights how little you are drinking in comparison to the daily recommended amount.

Set a reminder

Technology plays a large part in society, so set a reminder on your phone or email account to encourage water intake throughout the day.

Some like it hot

Why not swap morning cups of tea to hot H2O with freshly squeezed orange (rich in Vitamin C) giving you a tasty pick-me-up.

Make it part of the family

Encourage every member of the family to get involved, so you all get into the habit of drinking more water together

Draw a straw

Embrace the child from within and add vibrant, colourful straws to water bottles. You’re likely to sip more when using a straw.

Make a meal of it
Drink H2O before and after every meal. It’s a great way to increase your consumption as part of your daily routine.

Take it everywhere

Take a bottle of water everywhere. Having a bottle in your handbag, car, backpack and placed beside the bed can increase your consumption; it also enables you to keep a track of how much you’re drinking.

Banish your sweet tooth

If you love fizzy drinks, try to gradually cut down by drinking water for half of all your drinks, then eventually one fizzy drink per day, and then one per week. Once you start cutting down, your taste buds will change and eventually you won’t need the same sweetness.

Choose bubbles

Add some sparkle to the day with sparkling water, which has all the same benefits, but a little more fizz.
