As I said about resolutions last week, I am more an an incremental person than a drastic change person...so I've never jumped on the "Dry January" bandwagon - or even the new trend of "Damp January" that's popping up this year.  Rather than focus on what I shouldn't be doing, I prefer to focus on things I SHOULD add to my life...and one of those is drinking more water.
 

Whether you are celebrating Dry January, Damp January, or even having a Wet month, I hope the tips in this newsletter will help you get off to a well-hydrated start to 2024.

Best,

Susan

In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to forget the importance of staying hydrated. As a manufacturer of premium kitchen products, we understand the value of a healthy lifestyle, and one of the simplest yet often overlooked aspects of it is proper hydration.

1. Set a Water Goal:

• Start by determining how much water you should consume daily. A general guideline is the "8x8" rule, which suggests drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Adjust this based on your individual needs and activity level.

2. Use a Stylish Water Bottle:

• Invest in a reusable, attractive water bottle. Having a stylish bottle on hand can make drinking water more enjoyable and convenient, whether you're at home or on the go.

3. Infuse Your Water:

• Add natural flavors to your water by infusing it with fruits, herbs, or vegetables. Lemon, cucumber, mint, and berries are great options to enhance the taste and make hydration more appealing.

4. Create a Hydration Schedule:

• Establish a routine for drinking water throughout the day. Set alarms or reminders to ensure you sip regularly, maintaining a consistent level of hydration.

5. Track Your Progress:

• Keep a journal or use a smartphone app to log your water intake. This can help you stay accountable and visualize your daily hydration habits.

6. Opt for Sparkling Water:

• If plain water doesn't excite your taste buds, consider sparkling water or seltzer as an alternative. Just ensure it's unsweetened to keep it healthy.

7. Sip Before Meals:

• Drink a glass of water before each meal. This not only aids in digestion but also helps you consume less food, promoting portion control.

8. Use a Water Filtration System:

• Enhance the quality and taste of your tap water by using a premium water filtration system. Clean, fresh water is more inviting to drink.

9. Set Hydration Challenges:

• Challenge yourself or your family to drink a certain amount of water each day, creating a fun competition to boost hydration levels.

10. Listen to Your Body:

• Finally, pay attention to your body's signals. Thirst is a clear indicator that it's time to drink water. Don't ignore it; take a moment to savor the simple pleasure of a refreshing glass of water.

By following these tips, you'll find it easier to prioritize hydration in your daily life.

Katie from Iowa shares, "Growing up in the Midwest, I've always appreciated the importance of staying hydrated. My trick to drinking more water is to keep a beautiful glass pitcher of water in the fridge. When it's visually appealing, I'm more inclined to pour myself a glass throughout the day."

Mark from California says, "Living in sunny California, I've learned to make water consumption a habit. I recommend setting reminders on your phone. It's a simple yet effective way to ensure you're sipping water regularly, even during busy days."

Sarah from New York City suggests, "In the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, it's easy to forget to drink water. I've found that carrying a reusable water bottle with me everywhere I go makes it convenient to stay hydrated. Plus, it's eco-friendly!"

Mike from Texas shares, "Texans know the heat, and we know hydration is crucial. To spice up my water intake, I add a slice of fresh watermelon or a squeeze of lime. It gives my H2O a refreshing twist that keeps me reaching for more."

Emily from Florida shares, "Living in Florida, it's all about staying cool and hydrated. I've discovered that investing in a good-quality insulated water bottle keeps my water cold all day. It's like having a personal oasis wherever I am!"
