Better options! • Here are a few ideas for how you can incorporate more water rather than sugary drinks into your lifestyle. • Add a slice of orange, lemon, lime, or cucumber to your water for zero calories and lots of flavor. • Choose water over sweetened beverages at the vending machine • Keep water at your desk, in the car, and in your bag to have it when you need it. Before long you’ll find yourself reaching for it without a second thought. • Don’t like the taste of water? Use a straw. You won’t taste water as much, because it will skip part of your tongue. • If you like the bubbly aspect of soda and want to get your daily water needs, try drinking seltzer/club soda/carbonated soda. Seltzer also comes in lots of different flavors too.
