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 WaterMinder app to log my water intake as well as receive notifications or reminders when I need to drink.
2. I use a water bottle
I keep a 25 oz Yetti water bottle  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!
