Sometimes we find that we haven't drunk enough water…. It is advisable to drink 1.5 liters of water per day.

Through this post, we are going to discover 10 sure-fire tips for drinking more water without realizing it and for being healthier but also slimmer.

Drink Water With Lemon

When we drink still water, we may find it still. To make it more appetizing, we can add different substances which, in addition to their flavor, will give it a lot of nutritional qualities.

For example, a few drops of lemon will make your drink more purifying but also to eliminate more easily.

You can also add fresh mint or spearmint leaves. Or a little pomegranate concentrate, which is very antioxidant.

Drink Water After Coffee

Every time you have a coffee, it is advisable to accompany it with a good glass of water for several reasons. Coffee is very bad for the stomach, especially when you have stomach problems.

Coffee makes the body secrete gastrin, and too much of this hormone can lead to ulcers or gastritis. Cold water taken after coffee stops this secretion.

Drink Two Glasses With each Meal

If you have one drink before and one after breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will only be left with two or three drinks to meet your daily needs. With this option, we feel full faster and we keep our weight under control.

We Can Drink During a Meal: Water Helps Assimilate Nutrients.

Lightweight, rechargeable and with a good closure, so you can always carry it with you. Choose a steel or hard plastic model without bisphenol A (this substance disrupts the endocrine system and is found in many plastic containers).

We can also choose one that is isothermal.

Drink Water Regularly

Adopt the routine of having a glass of water each time you switch from one activity to another: before leaving home, at the start of work, during the break, when you return ...

A simple idea for all family members to set up is to have a summary table with each family member and 8 boxes. Mark a cross every time you have a drink.

Set an alarm on the mobile as a reminder

You can control your consumption rate if you set your mobile alarm to notify you every two hours. Many applications are online to help us drink more water, but also connected bracelets.

When we go to the bathroom

You can use your own body to signal that it is time for another glass of water. For example, immediately after using the bathroom, try to have a drink. Also ... before you start cooking, have a glass of water. With this technique, we will create automatisms that will allow us to drink more water but also to eat less.

Dilute The Juices to Have Less Sugar

Juices contain too much sugar so the best solution is to dilute them in an amount of water equal to the juice or more.

We can also peel oranges, lemons and limes, dice them and freeze them.

Then put them in glasses of water as if it were ice. They will refresh you, scent the water and help you consume more fruit.

Spice up Meals

A moderate dose of heat promotes digestion and helps burn calories but also helps to drink more water.

Differentiate hunger from thirst

Whenever you think you are hungry, try to drink as the feelings are often confused. In addition, according to Charité University in Berlin, although water does not cause weight loss on its own, it does have a supporting effect on weight loss when combined with a low calorie diet.

With which you will kill two birds with one stone: quench your thirst, become more hydrated and it will help you lose weight.

Water improves your digestion, the appearance of your skin, and even fills you with energy. On top of that, it is calorie-free and helps you lose weight.

The benefits of water:

Without it, we could not live. It is the most abundant element in the makeup of our body and is essential for keeping it healthy.

• Essential for the body's cells and allows us to transport vitamins
• Cleanses the body by eliminating toxins.
• Avoid constipation, as it makes it easier and more frequent to pass stools.
• Drink a glass of water 10 minutes before eating and you will be less hungry.
• Take care of the skin, which is the body's first line of defense.

The recommendations :

The WHO recommends two liters of water a day, but most of us stick to one and a half liters.

The more water we drink, the better?

No, you should drink the amount your body needs, no more and no less. Drinking excessively will not make you flush out more toxins than you need and will not make you lose more weight. You will only get your kidneys to work excessively.
