As our lives tend to shift with the seasons, so do our routines. While it was easy to hydrate poolside over the summer, dropping temps may leave us less-than-keen on H20. Let's face it - drinking the water our bodies need can feel like a chore (if we remember to do it at all).
Help has arrived, friends; and it doesn't involve forcing water down like a punishment.
Eat more water! Yes, it's possible...there's a plethora of veggies and fruits with high water content (and nutrients) that help meet those requirements without the "blah." Pack them in your lunch, snack throughout the day - and have fun mixing it up.
Another tip? When you do drink water, add fruits, veggies and/or herbs to infuse it with flavor. For fall, try cucumber & mint, pear & fresh ginger, or grapefruit & rosemary.
