Healthy Lifestyle Tip: 6 Ways to Make Water Less Boring

We hear you. Water isn’t the most exciting drink in the world, but it’s probably the healthiest. Drinking water regulates body temperature, flushes out toxins, aids in digestion, and balances blood sugar, to name a few of its benefits. And water is especially healthy when consumed instead of sugary soft drinks, whose health risks are increasingly well-documented. Here’s how to make meeting your daily water dose more of a treat than a chore.

Eat a Salad

A good 20 percent of our water intake comes from food, according to statistics from the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Lots of foods contain varying amounts of water, but fruits and vegetables have the highest percentages. Iceberg lettuce, zucchini, cucumbers, celery, red cabbage, radishes, broccoli, and tomatoes are all more than 90 percent water, so stack up a big, healthy, water-filled plate the next time you don’t feel like a glass of water. Fruits like watermelon and strawberries are also jam-packed with the liquid.

Switch Your Appetizer

Can’t squeeze in another glass of water? Have it for dinner by eating soup. Water-based bouillons, broths, and consommés are a great way to sneak in extra H2O. If you go the canned route, make sure to buy low-sodium and avoid soups that contain cream, which adds extra fat and calories.

Sip Tea

Drinking tea – which is essentially water infused with leaves and herbs – is a great way to increase your intake without feeling like you’re guzzling more plain, old water.

Get Creative with Ice

Make your water extra “cool” by adding flavour to your ice cube tray. Add things like mint, cucumber, or fresh fruit to your usual tray then plunk these funky cubes into your water glass.

Water Down Juice

Give your regular glass of water an extra shot of flavour with a few drops of your favourite juice (the natural kind, with no sugar added). Cranberry, pomegranate, grape, and apple work well for this trick, but also please your taste buds!

Add Fresh Fruit

Natural, fruit-infused water is fashionable these days. Make your own at home by smashing raspberries, strawberries, or watermelon right into a pitcher. Cucumber is quite refreshing as well. Prefer a citrusy taste? Go for lemons, limes, and oranges.
