I know that water is the most important health choice I can make. It’s the fuel for the body and according to most sources our body is 60% water. When we are dehydrated our systems shut down and this impacts our functioning in all areas of life.

That said, I haven’t always done a great job of making sure I’m hydrated and getting at least half my body weight in ounces of water per day. Here are a few hydration hacks I use to make sure I don’t forget to drink:

1. I use the WaterMinder app - I use the app to log my water intake as well as receive notifications or reminders when I need to drink.
2. I use a 25 oz Yetti water bottle - I keep it full on my desk as well as take it to the gym. My goal is to drink 4 - 5 bottles per day.
3. I think about dividing my day - If I divide my day into quarters, it helps me know when I need to have drunk a certain amount of water. Obviously, I don’t want to be chugging a bunch of water right before I go to bed so I try to cut off in the evening.
4. I use my Whoop - My Whoop measures the impacts of hydration on my daily recovery. I log it in my journal and then can see the impact on my recovery score.
5. I get around fit people - If you want to be inspired, it’s often helpful to get to the gym around other inspiring people who are working out and staying fit!

I’m curious to know your hydration hacks. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
