Easy Hydration Hacks for Hot Summer Days
1. Carry a Water Bottle (and Make It Fun)
A reusable water bottle is your summer sidekick. Keep it within reach all day: at your desk, in your bag, or on the go. Pro tip: choose one that makes you want to drink more water (yes, aesthetics matter!).
2. Infuse with Flavor
Infusing water with fruits, herbs, or cucumbers adds a refreshing twist to plain water. Experiment with combinations like strawberry+mint or lemon+lime+cucumber for a burst of flavor.
3. Set Hydration Reminders
In the midst of a busy day, it’s easy to forget to drink enough water. Set reminders on your phone or use apps to prompt you to hydrate regularly.
Pro tip: pair your water breaks with something you already do (like checking email or scrolling Instagram).
