***********Tips to Stay Hydrated This Summer***********
It’s getting hotter as we get closer to
summer. If you don’t drink enough
water, the heat can be tough on your
body. Staying hydrated helps your
body and mind work better!
Here are some quick ways to add more
water to your day:
1. Start your day with a glass of water. Leave a glass of water near your
bed. Drink it right when you wake up.
2. Start a journal. Make a goal of drinking water every day. Write down
how much water you drink every day to keep track of your goal.
3. Set an alarm. Set an alarm on your phone to remind yourself to drink
water!
3. Limit sugar sweetened beverages and soda. They are not healthy and
add lots of calories.
4. Flavor your water. Tired of plain water? Add strawberries, cucumber and
mint to flavor your water.
5. Carry a water bottle everywhere. This will help you have water at all
times.
6. Hydrate with food. Fruits and vegetables have lots of water. They can
help with adding water to your daily goal.
- Try fresh fruits, fruit kebabs, green smoothies and green juices.
- Freeze leftovers to make fruit popsicles. They’re a great treat in the
middle of a hot summer day. See Fruit Popsicles recipe below
