Better options!Here are a few ideas for how you can incorporate more water rather than sugary drinks into your lifestyle.
•Add a slice of orange, lemon, lime, or cucumber to your water for zero calories and lots of flavor.
•Choose water over sweetened beverages at the vending machine
•Keep water at your desk, in the car, and in your bag to have it when you need it. Before long you’ll find yourself reaching for it without a second thought.
•Don’t like the taste of water? Use a straw. You won’t taste water as much, because it will skip part of your tongue.
•If you like the bubbly aspect of soda and want to get your daily water needs, try drinking seltzer/club soda/carbonated soda. Seltzer also comes in lots of different flavors too.
