According to a study by the Nutrition Information Center, 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. Dehydration can severely affect energy levels, mental focus, and the ability of your immune system to fight off infections.
The extra amounts of salty food and drinks typically consumed around the holidays can cause our systems to require more hydration than normal. It’s not always easy to remember when to drink more water, so with help from Self.com we compiled a list of helpful tips to help you stay hydrated this holiday!
Add Flavor
Did you know that you can steep your favorite fresh fruit, veggies, or herbs in water overnight to enhance the flavor? That’s right. The longer you steep … the more intense the flavor.
Water break
Each time you visit the bathroom, drink a glass of water.
Eat, Drink, Be Merry
Before each meal and after every drink, consume an 8 oz glass of water. You will wake feeling refreshed and festive all holiday long.
Daily Water App
Set your holiday water consumption goals using the Daily Water app and stay accountable. It even has a feature that allows you to view a log of your water drinking habits throughout the holidays. You can call it your waterlog.
The Water Bottle of the Future
The HidrateSpark is a smart water bottle and app that recommends water intake goals, tracks your progress, and sends you notifications when it’s time to start chugging. Give yourself an early Christmas present this year… you deserve it, and your body will thank you.
