Make Water #1

The best way to hydrate your body is with plain water. Here are a few tips from the Generation Health program to help make water your drink of choice.

• Keep a jug of tap water on hand so it’s handy to pour a glass. Each time they open the fridge and see the water jug it’s a cue to have a drink. Over time drinking more water will become a habit. 
• For a change, add a slice of lemon or lime or a few berries to a glass of tap water or sparkling water. 
• Have milk or water with meals or snacks at home or when eating out. 
• Discuss with family your use of sugary drinks and buy them only rarely.
• If you do have a sugary drink when eating out, order the smallest size.
• Make sure every family member has their own reusable water bottle and carries it with them when out and about. Be mindful of the environment and use your reusable water bottle instead of bottled water. 
• Start slowly by switching one sugary drink with a healthier choice each day.
