Water - Five Ways To Get It, Even If You Don't Like It

Posted on Dec 19th 2008 5:00PM by Martha Edwards
You know that rule? The one that says you should get eight to 10 glasses of water a day? What do you do if you don't actually like drinking water? Hey, some people don't. After all, it is, by nature, the most bland beverage out there. But drinking lots of water is important for your health and losing weight, especially during the holidays.

If plain old agua isn't your thing, try ...

  • Eating lots of produce. It's mostly water!
  • Making or ordering soup. Again, it's mainly water, but try to stay away from high-sodium canned soups because they will cause you to retain water as well.
  • Warming up with herbal tea. Vanilla, peppermint ... there's an endless variety of flavours to choose from, so choose one and drink up.
  • Drinking juice. Most juices have a ton of sugar, but if you're not getting any other sources of hydration, juice will have to do. Add some carbonated water to give it a kick and up your water intake at the same time.
  • Adding stuff. Things like lemon wedges and mint leaves will add a bunch of flavour and none of the calories, so it can't hurt to try.
