Smart Hydration Tips

Whether you’re gardening, going for a walk, or enjoying a backyard barbecue, these simple hydration tips and refreshing infused water recipes will help you feel your best all season long.

✅ 1. Sip Throughout the Day

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Keep a reusable water bottle within reach and take small sips regularly. Aim for at least 8 cups a day—more if you’re active or spending time in the sun.

✅ 2. Eat Your Water

Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries, and lettuce, have a high water content. Snack on them often for a tasty hydration boost.

✅ 3. Set a Reminder

Use a phone alarm or hydration app to remind you to stay hydrated. A gentle reminder can make all the difference on busy days.

✅ 4. Balance Your Electrolytes

If you’re sweating a lot, replenish your electrolytes with coconut water or add a pinch of sea salt to your drink. This helps your body absorb fluids more efficiently.

✅ 5. Make It Fun

Plain water can get boring. That’s where infused water comes in! These naturally flavored recipes are delicious, beautiful, and loaded with nutrients.
