Easy Tips to Stay Hydrated
The first step to being healthier is making sure you are drinking enough water every day! According to the Mayo Clinic, water makes up about 60% of your body weight and is essential for your body to properly function! They recommend a minimum of 12 cups of water daily for men and 9 for women. That seems like a lot, right? Especially if you are not used to drinking a lot of water already. Here are a few great tips for promoting better hydration:
- Invest in a large, leak-proof water bottle for convenience.
- Enhance your water with fresh fruit slices for a burst of natural flavor.
- Set alarms throughout the day to remind you to drink.
- Use a water tracking app or include it in your planner to stay accountable throughout the day.
- Include teas, carbonated waters, or flavored waters to mix it up and help you stay motivated.
Tips for Staying Active
In addition to proper hydration, we need to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily according to the Mayo Clinic. This can be especially hard if you work a 9-5 or desk job. Here are a few easy tips for staying active every day:
- Choose an activity that you can do easily like walking around your neighborhood or up and down steps at work.
- Choose a time of day that is most convenient for you and plan your work/life around it. Make it a priority.
- Track your steps or minutes exercised
- If you can’t do all 30 minutes at one time, break it up into shorter walks throughout the day.
