Maybe that's why so many water recipes are trending on social media — we are on a constant quest to quench our thirsts in new and interesting ways. The CDC reports that adults drink an average of 44 ounces of water per day — way short of the amount we need.
Use your phone to your advantage! Set an alarm or reminder to go off at least four times per day, aiming to drink at least 16 ounces of water between those intervals. If you’re the kind of person who needs a visual reminder, leave yourself notes in visible places throughout your home, office or car. For example, you can leave yourself a note on your bathroom mirror or your fridge door — wherever you’re most likely to see it!Replace sugary drinks.
