Guest Franklin Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 the problem HOW TO DRINK MORE WATER Many health experts will agree that drinking more water will help give you more energy. (Read here from Michelle Schoffro Cook on why you should drink more water.) In celebration of this week's theme on keeping up your energy, here are my personal tricks on drinking more water. * Make it a Morning Ritual. I once read in a magazine article that many of us wake up dehydrated, and the first thing you should do before you do anything else is drink two glasses of water. I've now made it a regular morning habit, and it inspires the momentum to continue drinking more for the rest of the day. * Add Some Lemon. Back in the early stages when I couldn't stand drinking water, I squeezed lemon juice into my water. At restaurants, I would ask the servers to provide lemon slices with my water--which makes me sound snobby, but most restaurants are willing and expected to provide this service. * Keep it In the Clear. When your urine is clear, you are properly hydrated. When your urine is a dark yellow, you are definitely dehydrated. * Think of How Pretty You'll Look. I don't know how direct the correlation is between having healthy, glowing skin and drinking a lot of water, but I'm not taking any chances. Whatever psychological trick keeps me hydrated! * Do It Like It's Hot. If you're in the mood for a hot drink, drink heated water. Sometimes we just want the psychological pleasure that comes with having a hot mug cupped in our hands than the actual drink itself. Plus, coffee and tea contain caffeine, which is a diuretic and elevates the rate of water being expelled from your body via urination. * Drink When You Have a Munchie Attack. Sometimes our hunger is thirst masquerading as fake hunger. Drinking a cup or two of water will make you feel "full." *Take Baby Steps. Don't expect to go from zero glasses of water to the full 8 glasses overnight. Start with one glass of water in the morning and one glass of water at night, and build your way up from there. * Cheap cheap. Water at restaurants are FREE! * Always have a full glass of water near you when you are working. It will give you something to mindlessly sip on when you are brainstorming or need something to do with your hands. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 weird, i drink water all the time but i just bought some tropicana if you get more energy from drinking a lot of water, all that energy is wasted on going to piss every 10 seconds (or is this covered in the list? i couldnt be bothered reading it) i don't believe you need to drink much water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 wtf lemon juice in your water? the thing about something not tasting of much is it doesn't matter what it tastes like because it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred McGriff Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 about 40 mins ago i drank some water as i was swalling four hydrocodones. there are warm rays of sunshine being born inside my tummy and they are lazily crawling up into the top part of my torso and they are kinda maneuvering my chest hairs from the inside. like expert knob twiddlers. they are programming ambient tunes actually.

Joyrex Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 wtf lemon juice in your water? the thing about something not tasting of much is it doesn't matter what it tastes like because it doesn't I think that's the point; the blandness of the water is what turns some people off drinking it.

SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I drink two glasses of water first thing in the morning. It hydrates you and increases your metabolism. But the 6-8 glasses is a myth. Your body may require that amount, but most of it you already get from food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essines Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 honestly nothing is better than pouring cold, clear water down your gullet when you are extremely thirsty yes sir or after a night of some good, heavy drinking, waking up to a swimming pool full of water that you can just live in is devine.

Ego Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Drinking water feels like cleaning my insides. Same here, first thing I do when I wake-up, a big glass of water. And then some pure orange juice while going to work. I live very unhealthy but I will never wake-up on caffeine or sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
