Drinking half your body weight in ounces per day doesn't have to mean guzzling gallons of water in one sitting.  In fact, with a bit of creativity and planning, you can easily reach that goal by incorporating water into your daily routine. Here are some simple ways to reach your goal throughout the day:

• Drink Water Regularly
  • Carry a Water Bottle: Having a water bottle with you at all times makes it easy to sip water throughout the day, whether at work, home, or on the go.
• Set Reminders
  • Use your phone or an app to remind you to drink water every hour or so. 
• Infuse Your Water with Flavor
  • If plain water feels boring, add natural flavors by infusing it with fruits, vegetables, or herbs. Try adding lemon, cucumber, mint, or berries to your water to make it more enjoyable. 
• Drink Herbal Teas
  • Herbal tease (such as chamomile, peppermint, or ginger tea) are a great way to hydrate and can be enjoyed hot or cold. They also offer additional health benefits. 
• Drink Coconut Water
  • Coconut water is a natural beverage that's rich in electrolytes and can help keep you hydrated. It's a good alternative if you're looking for something other than plain water. Be sure to read the label and choose a coconut water that is clean and preservative free. 
• Drink Water with Meals
  • Make it a habit to drink a glass of water with each meal, helping you stay hydrated while also aiding digestion. 
• Drink Water Before and After Activity
  • Drinking water before and after exercise helps replenish the fluids lost during physical activity, promoting hydration and recovery. 
• Drink Water While Working, Watching TV, or Reading
  • Keep a glass or bottle of water by your side when you're sitting down to relax. This way, you can sip as you work, watch TV, or engage in other sedentary activities. 

Enjoying the health benefits of increased activity doesn't mean having to run a marathon or heavy Olympic style weightlifting. Simple daily activities can be enough to to get things pumping an increase your cardiovascular health and fitness. Here are some creative ways to reach your goal throughout the day. 

• Walking
  • Take a brisk walk around your neighborhood or place of work. 
  • Opt for the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. 
• Housework
  • Cleaning activities like vacuuming, sweeping, or mopping can get your heart pumping. Especially if you put a little zeal into it!
  • Yard work such as raking leaves, mowing the lawn, or gardening can also be great for heart rate elevation.

  • Speed up the pace of your dog's walk to make it more energetic, and increase your beloved pet's health too!
