The benefits of 
drinking enough water

Drinking enough water can be a challenge with the busy lifestyle many of us have. It may sometimes seem like we don't even have enough time to eat, never mind drinking half our body weight in oz or water each day, which is what many recommend. I am trying to drink at least 8 cups of water per day.

I struggle with drinking enough water each day. I sometimes start to feel a headache coming on and I soon realize that I have drank ZERO ounces of water that day. Not drinking enough water can also cause dry skin, dehydration, fatigue, weakened immunity and more! I read somewhere in a book that we are not sick...we are thirsty!

Over my time of trying all the different way to trick my mind into drinking enough water I have found a couple ways that makes water interesting & doesn't spend a lot time or effort.

1. Carbonated water
I enjoy fizzy water. I personally have one of those carbonated beverage machines that allows me to make water fizzy and less boring. I will also add some flavor boost to it that I will explain in the next tip.



2. Essential Oils!
Who knew that water and oils do mix! I love adding a dash of Young Living dietary line of oils to my water (Remember oils are very concentrated and powerful!) You only need 1 drop in your glass of water. Mix it up and it tastes fabulous! My favorites are lemon, peppermint and orange. Also remember that not all oils are created equal...don't consume just any brand of essential oils! Young Living oils are approved for consumption.


3. A straw
Water tastes better out of a straw for me. I find I sip it more often throughout the day & I end up drinking more of it! I love stainless steel straws..they make the water taste colder (In my head, maybe). You're more likely to swallow more at a time when you drink from a straw compared to when you sip directly from the bottle.

  1. I love my water with fresh berries, sliced oranges or lemon and lime, cucumber and basil leaves in it. Those are just some of the ways I like to drink my water. Oh and can’t forget my YL essential oils as well!
