Water has never been my drink of choice but I am working on increasing the amount I drink each day.

Why?

The human body is about 70% water and needs the right amount of hydration to function properly. Experts suggest that the average person drink eight 8 oz glasses of water a day.

This amount can seem staggering to a non-water drinker. I’ve got a few easy tips to help!

How to Increase Water Intake

I’ve been tracking my water consumption for 21 days with free printable planner stickers and help from my Brita Steam water filter pitcher. I like using the filter-as-you-pour pitcher to track my water consumption because:

• It fills like a regular pitcher and can be poured immediately. (No more waiting for my old filter pitcher to do it’s job!)
• The filter make tap water taste better. (Better tasting water means I drink more!)
• The slim pitcher fits easily in the fridge nd looks nice enough to place on the dinner table. (I’ve found that I drink more water when it is within reach!)

I’ve also created free printable post it notes that you can stick to your pitcher or glass to help track your daily water drinking habit.

Why 21 days? It takes a minimum of about 21 days to form a lasting habit (according to science).
