Water Tips To Help Make The Habit Stick

Here are a few tips to help you make this habit stick!

• Don't try to drink alot of water in one go. It is best to sip it over time.
• Water is best on an empty stomach, it is absorbed quicker and doesn'f interfere with digestion.
• Measure out your water for the day into a bottle or covered jug, that way you don't have to keep count of the glasses!
• Avoid drinking water with a meal, it dilutes your digestive juices.
• Drink 30 minutes before a meal and afterwards wait at least 30 minutes before drinking again.
• Some people love chilled water, there is now evidence that non-chilled water is better for you as it doesn't shock the stomach and divert energy to warming the water to body temperature.
• If you don"t like plain water here are some ideas to make it more appealing:
  
  
  • Drink herbal teas or infusions - make sure they are not diuretic ones!
  • Add lemon or lime slices to give the water a tang
  • For sweeter versions use stevia as a natural sweetning alternative to sugar to go with your lemon or lime slices
