Although we all know how much our bodies need water, we still may not drink it because of the taste or lack of taste. Granted, some places have more refreshing water than others. I know that Mesa, Arizona has despicable-tasting water. But, drinking water is better than passing a kidney stone. Agreed? Below are a few tricks for those who have an aversion to water:
- Drink purified water. Use a good water purifier so the water tastes better.
- Take it slow. Gradually build up your intake of water over a period of a few weeks.
- Put sliced lemons, grapefruit, oranges, strawberries, limes, cucumber, kiwi or a sprig of mint in your glass of water.
- Make fruit ice cubes by cutting up bits of fruit and placing them in ice cube trays with some water.
- Have a water bottle near by while sitting for long periods of time so you will grab it and drink out of it.
Last of all, maybe ask yourself why you do not like the taste of water and try to find solutions to fix it instead of going without water or dreading every sip.
