Need help drinking more water? 5 steps.

Now comon, lets all be honest. Barley anyone these days drink as much water as their meant to. So here are my top tips on how i got my water levels up !

1) Some people say they can't stand the taste of water, i'm one of them. But i found out that was beaucse it was down to were i live. I live in a very hardwater area, meaning it taste quite chemically. So how to fix that? well theirs two easy options. Both quite cheap.

1a) One is called the "bobble" give it a quick search on amazon. Its basically a bottle that you fill up from tap that filters the water as you drink it.

1b) Look for a Britta water system or something along them lines, and believe me it really does make a differnce when your trying to drink more water.

2) How do we encourage ourselves to do something more? We make it more appealing and attractive to us.

2a) Buy a new water bottle. LET YOUR WALLET/PURES GO MENTAL! For example there is the "Kor Delta" water bottle! £20+ but looks amazing, i personally have this water bottle and i found myself drinking from it more often as it looked intreasting and people were asking what the hell it was and i wanted to flaunt it more ! Hell you don't even have to go that extream, a friend of mine just bought two stainless steel walking water bottles (1L each) and uses both. (keeps one in fridge)

2b) Now, this is one that i know has worked well for lots of people too. Crystal Light. This is like a powder i believe (?) that you add to water to give it flavour and it contains next to 0 calories. It also comes in packs that are high in vitamin c to help you out even more !

3) The final piece of advice i have about drinking more water, at this point your drinking out of a cool bottle that might even be flavoured and filtered !

3a) COLD. Cold water is always better than warm for me, i love to drink cold water more than warm. Alot of people i ask also tell me the same, cold water is easier and more refreshing to drink and i find it makes me want to drink more of it.

3b) WARM/HOT. Freaks. Some people i know will only drink warm-hot water, a friend even has it boiling out of the kettle into a cup and just drinks it with no coffee or anything. Im not getting at people that do this beaucse at the end of the day your still drinking water ! each to their own.

4) 4? nearly their.

4a) GIving up the soda. Soda's a hard one to give up beaucse it is addictive, lets be honest guys drinking a can of coke really fast is filling ! and it does give us all a boost even if we dont feel it. So how do you give it up? my only tip for this one is willpower, when you go to the fridge to grab that soda, look next to it at your water bottle and go NO. I'll have my water instead, my nice lovely cold water, out of my amazing bottle.

5) OMG POINT 5 !

Point 5 is simple its a round-up, with all of this information and if your willing to shop around and spend some time seaching amazon you can find lots of amazing water bottles, and crystal lite and all sorts of stuff i talked about. If you have anything to add to this little "guide" just comment and i'll edit it in thanks guys !

6) User submitted points !

6a) This one comes form a genius ! and i tottaly forgot it, a straw, drinking out of a straw means you gulp less but drink just as fast as you normally do, this is great beaucse, sometimes you even drink more with a straw !

6b) Apparenlty there is another additive type thing called 'mio'
