You probably already know that it’s important to drink enough water. A minimum of eight glasses of water a day is recommended. You should aim for more if it is really hot, or you are working out and sweating a lot.
According to WEB MD the early signs of dehydration are increased thirst, dry mouth, sticky saliva and reduced urine output with dark yellow urine. You may also experience a lack of energy and a headache. None of these sound fun. It maybe hard sometimes to drink that much water; especially when sodas and coffee are tempting. However, to stay healthy and feel great, we should strive to drink those eight glasses of water a day. Here are a few tips to help you remember to drink the water, and to make it a little more pleasant or interesting.

1. Add Some Lemon Juice 
Tend to get bored with drinking just water after a few days? Change things up and add a little flavor by adding a teaspoon or less of lemon to your water. You can also try some other fruit juices. Just make sure you are still drinking mainly water. Just a splash of juice should be enough to make things interesting and give the water some flavor without adding a lot of sugar and calories.

2. Try Some Club Soda 
If you are craving the fizz of a soda, try some Club Soda. Alternatively, you can also add a splash of fruit juice to your watered down club soda.

3. Drink Some Water When You Feel Hungry 
Unfortunately many of us have gotten so out of tune with our bodies that we feel hungry when we are actually thirsty. If you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water first. You may just be thirsty.

4. Carry A Water Bottle 
It’s much easier to drink water when you have it readily available. Carry a bottle of water around with you in the car, at work, while running errands, in the yard, and even while you are working around the house. You’ll be sipping away the water without even noticing it.

5. Drink More If You Are Working Out 
We already touched on this, but it bears repeating. Make sure you drink more glasses of water before, during and after working out, or if you spend some time outside while it’s hot. Your body uses and needs more water when it sweats a lot.
Just pay attention to how much you drink and implement some of these ideas if you don’t get the recommended eight glasses of water a day. Your body will thank you for it in the long run.
