Drinking enough water isn’t easy. I know that
I’ve struggled with my water drinking habits over the years. Once I developed a
taste for coffee and fizzy drinks, water seemed so boring!
Now that I have children, I need to set a
better example. I’m trying to build healthier habits around eating and drinking
that they can carry with them for life. Drinking more water is a fantastic way
to start. It’s free and easy, and there are loads of ways to make it more fun.
Here are a few suggestions that can help your
family to drink more water and lead a healthier lifestyle.
Get Fun Water Bottles
A great way to start your journey to drinking
more water is to invest in some fun water bottles. This will get your kids
excited about drinking more water, and it’s fun for adults too!
You can let your kids pick a bottle with their
favourite cartoon or superhero character. Or, you can go for a smart bottle
that makes drinking water fun.
We love the Auron Bottle because it’s cleaner
and more engaging for kids.
Auron is the first smart water bottle. It has
a UV-light inside the bottle that purifies water from any source, killing
99.99% of germs in 60 seconds. It also kills germs on the interior of the
bottle, so you won’t have to clean it very often.
The bottle has a touchscreen display on the
lid, which kids love. With a tap, you can purify your water, activate
auto-purification, or check the temperature of your drink.
With Auron, you never need to replace filters
or parts, and it works for 2 months on just one charge. You can enjoy pure,
safe drinking water for life with just one bottle.
It’s also great for travel, the gym and taking
to work (it’s a great thermos for coffee too!).
Auron is a bit pricey, but it’s built to last
for life. And
if you pre-order the new Auron Bottle, you can save 60%.
Stop Stocking Sugary Drinks
If you keep sugary drinks at home, the
temptation will get the best of you. And, it will start a lot more fights with
kids about what they’re going to drink with dinner.
If you stop keeping those artificial juices
and fizzy drinks in the fridge, it will be much easier to drink water when
you’re thirsty. That’s the beautiful thing about water. If you don’t have other
drinks to take its place, you’ll want to have a big glass of it eventually.
This is a really great habit-changer for kids too. A few days without sugary drinks will leave them cranky. But after that, they’ll find it easy to switch to water. Keep this up, and they’ll be more likely to drink water when they’re thirsty for their entire lives.
Get More Exercise
When you work up a sweat, what are you usually
thirsty for? Fizzy drinks? Coffee?
No. Your body wants real hydration from water.
Getting more exercise is one healthy habit
that can spawn many more. Going for a walk every day with the family or playing
a fitness video game—any activity you can do—will increase your thirst for
water and decrease your cravings for sugary drinks.
It’s also a good way to bring the family
together to do something fun every day!
Set Water-Break Reminders
One reason that we don’t drink enough water is
that we just don’t remember to keep hydrated. Setting reminders is a good way
to drink water throughout the day.
Not only will this keep you hydrated, but it
will also prevent those cravings from creeping up on you. It can even help you
to eat less and cut back on loads of calories.
For kids, it can make drinking water more fun,
especially if the water reminder is a fun sound or a song they can sing along
with.
Another thing we love about the Auron Bottle
is that it has built-in hydration reminders. You can set them by tapping the
lid, and ever few hours a little alarm will sound.
It All Starts With Water
Building healthy habits in your home all
starts on the foundation of drinking water. Water is the most essential
ingredient for a healthy lifestyle, and drinking a bit more is the easiest
change you can make in your life.
Start with a small step, like removing sugary
drinks from the fridge for 4 days a week. Then, go from there.
And don’t forget to buy a water bottle to help
motivate you. Any reusable bottle will do. I recommend Auron because it’s
cleaner and safer for families. Plus, it makes drinking water more fun for
kids.
You can get an Auron Bottle now for 60% off the list
price during their latest campaign on Kickstarter. It ships just in
time for warm weather!
