Hit Your Hydration Target With Technology

Don’t just hope you remember to drink enough fluids each day. You’ve got tech on your side! There are several smart tools that can help you hit your hydration goals — and have a little fun.

Take advantage of apps, smart bottles, and cheeky reminders that behave more like a friend and less like a nag. Turn hydration into a mini game — one where you always win! Let tech be your virtual hydration coach that cheers you on, preventing your water bottle from becoming just another desk decoration.

Your Action for Today

Find and use a tech tracking tool that appeals to you. Some options include:

• Download a water tracking app for iOS or Android. They offer a variety of tools and games to make hydration fun.
• Use a smart bottle that monitors your water intake and reminds you when to take a sip. Some also feature helpful filtration and purification capabilities.
• Set a reminder on your phone to drink water at regular intervals throughout the day. Use encouraging or humorous messaging — whatever works for you.
• Create a meme texting challenge with a friend or colleague. See who can find the funniest ways to remind one another to hydrate. (Pinterest has some really clever meme ideas!)

Making hydration fun will motivate you to keep it up every day.
