Tips To Meet Your Water Goals
By Melissa Colborne, Registered Dietitian
If you’ve been struggling to drink enough water because of the colder weather, you’re not alone! I’ve been struggling and I know a lot of my clients have been struggling too.. so I thought I would put together a list of my top tips to help you drink enough water this winter (or summer)!
Do you need help with your nutrition?
MY TOP 5 TIPS:
1. Rooibos tea with lemon & honey
Drink black rooibos tea, either plain or you could flavour it with a squeeze of lemon and honey (be cautious if the amount of honey as it can add up quickly).
2. Warm lemon & ginger water
If you are not a tea lover, you could drink warm lemon or ginger water. I like to keep a pot of water on the stove with sliced fresh ginger for flavour.
3. Room temperature water
I find it easier to drink room temperature water than it is to drink ice cold water.
4. Keep a bottle with you at all times
I always have a water bottle with me at all times. Whenever I look at it, I take it sip. Its easy to forget about your water and not feel thirsty, especially when its cold.
5. Start your day hydrated
I like to drink a big glass of water (or black cup of tea) before my coffee every morning. This way I know I am getting ahead of the game and starting my day hydrated.
These are just a few that I use to help me but I hope you find them helpful too!
