    Is it just me or is it hard to just drink water on it’s own?
    I know I need to drink 8 glasses a day. I can hardly manage one.

    What’s the secret?
    What helps you?

    I just add a splash of lemon or lime juice and lots of ice. You get use to it.

    Great suggestion 👍

    A squeeze of lemon. Or I like to make iced tea, no added sugar.

    Sounds good Nikki . I give it a try xx

    I don't know - I like water - I have a good tasting well - I do squeeze lemon into the water like the previous poster said

    I heard as you age, your body doesn't feel thirst. I got a bottle with hash marks and that is helping me stay on track. I HATE having to carry a bottle around, but I have to do it. I like ice water with lemon.

    My sister is type 2 diabetic and finds unflavoured water boring so she's experimenting with sugar free flavour additives. I suggested throwing lemon slices in her water jug but she didn't seem interested.
