Make agua your Appetizer
Published
It's day 2 of the Hydration Challenge!
Today's tip is to make agua your appetizer.
Do you pour a glass of coffee every morning on auto-pilot? Try to do the same for water. Before you drink any other liquid, have a snack, or dig into a meal, drink a glass of water. It’s an easy way to remember to drink up. Plus, having water before a meal or snack can fill you up, so you eat less, which may aid in weight loss.
Find water to be a boring appetizer? Infuse your water or your ice with fruits, veggies, or herbs. You’ll be more likely to pour yourself a glass when your water and/or ice have some flavor and the pitcher looks inviting.
For infused water, give some of these ideas from All Recipes a try. Here’s how to make flavored ice cubes and they’ll add even more flavor to your drink as they melt. Try to keep sugar content to a minimum, but experiment with combinations of herbs and fruit or use plain frozen fruit, like lemon slices, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries or melon balls.

MysG You'll get there! Some of the nurses on the main board were talking about setting timers to remind themselves to drink. Maybe that could help!
