Daily Fit Tip: Ways to liven up water
Categories: Daily Fit Tip
I'm one of those religious water drinkers. I always have a reusable water bottle with me, and if by the end of the day, I haven't met my 64-0z minimum, you'll see me furiously chugging it before bed (never a good idea.) I'm lucky that I love water so much but even I'll admit that there are days where drinking your water isn't nearly as exciting as having soda. So here's a couple of ways to add some zing to your H20:
-Add a slice of lemon: or orange, or lime, or cucumber. It gives your water just a hint of excitement and is surprisingly refreshing.
-Drink some sugar-free juice instead: I am in love with Crystal Light's lemon iced tea, and it's 0 calories so when I'm craving something sweet, I add that to my water and I'm set.
-Eat it: Most fruits largely consist of water, so if you have, say, an orange or some watermelon, you're getting a good fill of water in edible form.
-Carry it everywhere: It's easy to miss your servings of water if you don't have it with you all the time, so bring it along and make it the first thing you reach for when you're thirsty.

In spas, they sometimes slice cucumber into the ice water. It sounds odd, but actually is very refreshing. I asked why once, and they said that it stimulates something that makes you want to drink more water. I didn't notice that so much, but it did taste very clean and nice.
