We all know we need to drink more water. But what if you hate it?
I know some people who really hate to drink water. They would never choose water.
Here are some tips and tricks I use and some I researched.
Buy a fruit infusion water pitcher. Place frozen or fresh fruit in the insert and add water. The water is lightly flavored and colored.
Whenever you brush your teeth drink a small glass of water. Experiment with temperature. Maybe you’ll like ice-cold water or room temperature. Pick one!
Add lemon or lime slices to your water. Or try cucumber. This adds flavor and nutrients.
Drink herbal teas. Just limit the sugar you add.
Eat more fruits and vegetables that have high water content. Watermelon, cucumber, celery, and tomatoes are all good choices.

Try diluting a strong flavored juice like grape or cranberry with water.
Filter your water to enhance the flavor. Purchase a filter pitcher like Brita.
Buy bottled water. It’s worth every penny if it helps you drink more.
Make it a habit. Associate drinking water with something you enjoy. When you watch TV, sip from a pretty water bottle. When you first get home have a glass of water. After your morning shower have a glass of water. You get the idea.
Reward yourself for drinking more water.
