Why You're Not Drinking Enough Water (And How to Fix It)
Oct 17, 2023
Water. We all know it’s essential. Yet, despite its undeniable importance, many of us struggle to consume adequate amounts daily. We’ve heard all the objections. In fact, maybe you’ve caught yourself using some of them. So, today, let’s dive deep into the top reasons people give for not drinking enough water and find solutions together!
1. "I just don't feel thirsty."
Why That's an Issue: Thirst isn't always a reliable early indicator of your body's hydration needs. Often by the time you feel thirsty, you might already be slightly dehydrated.
Here's a Fix: Establish a routine. Whether it's sipping water after waking up, before meals, or setting hourly reminders, find a rhythm that works for you.
2. "Water is...boring?"
Why That's an Issue: While water might lack the flair of fizzy sodas or tangy juices, it’s the most natural drink for your body.
Here's a Fix: Make your water exciting! Infuse it with fruits or herbs. If you're looking for some inspo, check out our recent Instagram post where we shared three fun ways to level up your water game.
3. "I can't stand the taste of tap water."
Why That's an Issue: Tap water taste can vary, but it's a sustainable option that's often perfectly safe for drinking.
Here's a Fix: A good water filter might be your best friend. It can improve taste and is a greener choice compared to bottled water. A simple water filter pitcher can be a great way to keep COLD delicious water on hand all the time!
4. "I forget to drink water."
Why That's an Issue: Adopting any new habit can be challenging, but this is one you can't afford to overlook.
Here's a Fix: Let technology assist you. There are handy mobile apps to remind you to drink. Or even simpler, set reminders or alerts on your phone Water bottles with time markers can also be a game-changer.
5. "But, the restroom trips!"
Why That's an Issue: Yes, initially, you might be visiting the restroom more frequently. However, the benefits of staying hydrated far outweigh this minor inconvenience.
Here's a Fix: Over time, your body will adjust. Try spreading out your intake to reduce sudden urges, and remember that, with time as you consistently give your body more water, the trips will normalize.
In essence, while these objections might sound valid, there's always a workaround. Prioritizing hydration is not just about quenching thirst; it's about fueling our body, aiding digestion, keeping our skin glowing, and so much more. So, the next time you find an excuse creeping up, remember these solutions. Let's raise a glass (of water) to better health and habits!
