Tired of cleaning your current water bottle because its developing a odor or hard to clean, its time for a new one. Buy a water bottle you like !

Do you prefer wide mouth bottles because of how easy they are to fill? Look for lid inserts that fits comfortably inside of your mouth. Inserts make water easier to drink especially if you’re active.
Try a clear water bottleÂ
Do you know how much you’re drinking? Clear reusable bottles help you to see your progress throughout the day and motivates you to keep refilling.
Set a daily goal
If you have a 16 ounce water bottle, make it a goal to fill it up three times throughout the day.
Stay hydrated with fruits and veggies
Add fruits and vegetables with high water content to your diet. Some fruits and or veggies can be: cabbage, spinach, squash, watermelon, citrus, cantaloupe, or strawberries.
Make a water journal

Drink fluids while exercising, especially if exercising outdoors or in a hotter climate.
Stay hydrated while traveling
Are you a frequent traveler? If so, bring a small, empty water bottle and refill once you’re in your boarding area. The airplane cabin is a low humidity environment, which can dehydrate us and leave us even more susceptible to jet lag.
Flavor it up !Â
Bored with plain water? Add strawberries, cucumbers, lemon, or mint to add flavor. You can even purchase water bottle infusers that you can take on the go.
