I love water but I know people who don’t care for it so they struggle to get enough. So how do you make sure you are drinking enough. Here are some suggestions.
- Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go. This also helps you to keep track of exactly how much you are drinking.
- Add some flair to your water by adding your favorite fruits such as strawberries, lemons, or blueberries.
- Eat foods high in water content. These include watermelon, spinach, cucumbers, green peppers, berries, cauliflower, radishes, and celery.
Young Living just recently came out with Vitality drops. There are two flavor options. Grapefruit Bergamot and Lavender Lemon. They are formulated with naturally occurring electrolytes from the Great Salt Lake and all-natural flavors. No sugar or artificial colors. They are an excellent choice if you are not a water lover. My favorite is the Grapefruit Bergamot. The Lavender Lemon tastes similar to Lemon aide.
