We all know that drinking water is very important to your
health. But sometimes it is hard to remember to drink enough water while you
are busy during the day. There are some great ways, however, to keep
water on your mind. The UK charity, Water Aid, has created a software program for your PC that will alert you 6 times a day to drink water. There is also a screen-saver available if you would like to have a constant reminder while working. You can download both programs from their website.
There is also a new iphone app called 'Water Your Body' that is a water consumption tracker. It's water calculator tells you how much water you personally need and allows you to keep tabs from day to day how much you drink. The app icon shows in red how many more glasses of water you need as a reminder each day to stay fully hydrated. The app can be found here.
Lastly, we must plug the TapIt iphone app as a great water reminder. Every time you see it on your phone while on the go, it is a reminder that there are places to get free water refills all around you. Click on the icon and there they are. If you live in New York City, San Francisco or Portland, free and clean water refills are always only blocks away.
With all these ways to stay up on healthy water habits, there should be no excuses for dehydration.
