THE HACK
Here’s how to drink more water without even trying:
EAT WATER-RICH FOODS:
Snack on foods like melon, strawberries, pineapple, cucumbers, and celery. These fruits and vegetables are more than 90 percent water.
CARRY A (FUN) WATER BOTTLE:
It’s easier to drink water if you always have it with you. Toss a reusable water bottle—with a tight-fitting lid—in your backpack. Make it your own with charms, stickers, or paint.
MAKE WATER MORE INTERESTING:
If you find the taste of water boring, try these flavor-boosting additions: lemon or lime slices, mashed-up berries, mint, ginger, or even a splash of fruit juice. Now it’s a drink to look forward to!
