How to stay hydrated – Vancouver Personal Training Nutrition Tip

I recommend that dieters try to drink 48 ounces (six 8-ounce glasses a day) of water. That’s because studies show that people who drink more water consume fewer calories during the day. And water is essential for staying healthy-it helps with digestion and metabolism, flushes toxins from your system and regulates body temperature.
But I know it can be tough for some people to gulp down that much H2O. Whatever the reason-you don’t like the flavor, you’re too busy, it causes you to make a few extra trips to the bathroom-I’ve got a fix. Check out the tips below to make sure you sip enough water stay healthy and slim down.

Be patient. Increasing your intake of water can also increase the frequency of visits to the restroom. But believe it or not, you can train your body to take in more water. If you’re really struggling with eight glasses, start with six glasses for a week or two, then increase to seven and finally work your way up to eight. As you get into better shape, your body will require-and even crave-more water.
Stay hydrated for workouts. It won’t be too tough to drink after a workout because you’ll likely be very thirsty, but to get the most of your sweat session, also try drinking before you hit the gym. Start with a glass of water prior to your workout, and when you’re through, drink two more glasses. That’s three glasses right there!
Drink a glass with every meal. Replace your normal beverage with water at each meal and snack. If you do this, you’ll already be halfway to your goal.
Add flavor. If you find the taste of plain water to bland, try adding a squirt of lemon, lime, grapefruit or other fruit.
Carry around a bottle of water. It’s easier to drink throughout the day when you have water with you-in your purse, your car or at your desk. Try toting a bottle of Best Life approved Nestle Pure Life water around; it’s a handy way to stay hydrated. (Just don’t forget to recycle!)
Limit your options. If you usually have lots of different beverages in your house-soda, juice, milk, iced tea, lemonade, etc.-try cutting back by one or two options. With fewer choices, there will be a little less temptation to sip something instead of water.
