5 Fun Ways to Drink Water

Although most of us are aware on the amount of water we should drink every day in order to fulfill our daily deficit, it is amazing the reduced amount of people who actually reach or get anywhere near the two liters per day requirement. Reasons are many, and the one I've heard the most is "I don't like water." Well, whether we like it or not, water IS important, and we not only should, but MUST drink enough water throughout the day in order to replace the water we've lost by sweating, salivating, crying, when using the toilet for both number one and two ;), among others. Therefore, here I'm giving five different fun and probably easier ways to drink water for those of you used to hear the "You don't like water? It doesn't even have a flavor!"

Fun Ways to Drink Water

#1. Drink It With Mint: Have any of you tried a "Mojito" before? Well this is the same, but without the alcohol. You just have to grab a glass, add a couple of leaves of mint, and crushed them with some lime juice and sugar,  or Stevia. By doing this, you will be giving your water a different and fresh flavor, while at the same time keeping it as natural as possible.

#2. Add a Bag of Decaf Tea: You can heat an entire litter of water and add a bag of decaf tea to it, and when is ready you just need to add some ice and you're good to go! This way you will be having a flavored water, fun and refreshing to have.

#3. Make it a Shot: When you drink six shots of waters, you are having an entire glass of it. So, if by the end of the day you are just missing one more glass, and have already tried every other way to drink water, then try having six shots of water with a buddy. Make a contest to see who drinks them faster, and by the end of all the laughter you would have already completed your daily requirement!

#4. 8 oz. Bottle: Most of the time when we have any liquid in a bottle, we tend to drink it faster than if we have it in a glass because of the amount of liquid we allowed into our mouths. Try then to have a 6 oz or a 8 oz bottle with you and fill it with water. This way by the second or third sip you'd have finished a glass of water that would have normally taken you up to five sips. 

#5. Not So Cold: Most of the people think that if you drink very cold water, it will be more pleasant and even taste better. However, when you drink it this cold it takes you way longer to be able to have it without getting a brain freeze, and therefore it feels FOREVER just drinking a glass of water. So, next time you are planning on drinking water, try to have it room temperature, or just cool; this way it takes you longer to be refreshed which traduces in the need of more water, and you are able to drink it faster.

Now you know there are other fun ways in which you can have your daily requirement of water. Can you think of any other way? Let me have some feedback ;)
