Healthy Habits Tip: Stay Hydrated

Comments

How do you start your day?

Okay, so let me ask you…

Does your morning typically start with a latte or cappuccino? Do you find yourself reaching for a Diet Coke to help you snap out of a mid-afternoon slump?

While sweet drinks may give you a temporary energy boost, they can also cause your energy levels to crash shortly after.

The more sugar you consume, the more you crave it, leading to a never-ending roller coaster ride of sugar highs followed by crashes.

The only way to break the cycle is to eliminate (or drastically reduce) your sugar consumption.


You don’t want to sabotage yourself and undermine all the hard work you have put into your diet and exercise routine. By changing what you drink, you can make sure you are staying on track with a healthy lifestyle.

It's Easy to Hydrate Without Extra Calories

Try trading out sugar laden or artificially sweetened drinks for water, or unsweetened iced tea. This will help you stay hydrated without adding unnecessary calories. If you are really craving some flavor, try infused water. You can infuse your water with fruits or vegetables to improve the taste without sacrificing your health, and it’s super refreshing!

Meeting your body’s hydration needs doesn’t have to be difficult. By switching out your Diet Coke for a glass of fruit infused water, you can make sure you are properly hydrated without all the added, metabolism-damaging artificial sweeteners.

Everyone has different hydration needs, based on weight, activity level, and other factors.  

Make it a starting goal to drink six to eight (8 oz.) glasses of water a day, and adjust according to your needs. 

Take charge of your hydration starting today, and you will be one step closer to achieving your health goals.

Let me know in the comments below about your favorite way to enjoy beverages that don’t include sugar or artificial sweeteners. ​
