How To Drink More Water

Expert Author Adam Tijerina

We all know that water can help you lose weight but as a whole, we are still becoming more obese year after year. So the question is how to drink more water and lose weight? This article will highlight some tips that I've used to add more water to my diet and how it can help you.

There's nothing sexy or exciting about water. It's plain, clear and pretty tasteless. But, the number one thing it does have is no calories. And that's why it is so healthy for you. It can keep you fuller longer and keep you from eating too much.

Drinking a glass of water before, during, and after a meal will keep you from overeating.

So how do you add water to your diet?

You have to give it some flavor without calories. Or with healthy calories. I add lemon juice to my water to give it some taste. When I eat out at a restaurant, I order a glass of water with lemon.

This gets rid of the bland taste of water.

Another tip is I add grape, cranberry, and apple juice to a glass of water. Mix half a glass of water with half of glass of grape juice and you have a healthy drink instead of empty calories like in soda. Grape juice does have a high amount of sugar in it but the sugar is from grapes which provide nutritious vitamins and minerals which soda and alcohol do not have.

Brew a cup of green tea or yerba mate tea to drink more H2O. Sweeten it with stevia or honey instead of sugar. Add a splash of lemon juice and you have a nice cup of tea. If you needed another reason to drink tea, green tea and yerba mate are high in antioxidants as well and provide several heart healthy benefits.

It's not hard to drink more water in your daily life. It takes these small changes to make big changes in your health and lifestyle. By just drinking more water instead of sugary drinks like sodas, you can lose 10 to 20 pounds a year.
