Your body’s immune system needs healthy food, plenty of rest, and — you guessed it! — the right amount of water in order to function properly. When we don’t take care of ourselves, our body simply cannot hold up the kind of defenses it needs during cold and flu season, which means we’re more at risk for catching the latest virus going around the office. Luckily, a great water-drinking habit can help us stay well! Keep reading to find out tips for drinking water to stay well this fall.
Avoid Sugary Drinks
Here in the South, we love our sweet tea! And many of us also love carbonated soft drinks, sports drinks, and lemonade. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with enjoying these types of beverages every now and then, but too many sugary drinks can lead to a multitude of problems, including tooth decay, weight gain, and lethargy — which can lead to a diminished immune system.
Instead of reaching for a Diet Coke, consider filling up your favorite water bottle and sipping on it all day so that you keep thirst at bay.
Make a Soothing Hot Beverage
Cooler weather just begs for something warm to drink. In order to avoid sugar, brew an herbal tea and enjoy the aromatic bonus you get as you drink it. You can also use your favorite spring water to make apple cider or hot chocolate — just watch that extra sugar and make sure you aren’t drinking too much of it.
Add Flavor Naturally
Sometimes, you want a little more taste in your water. Consider adding flavor naturally with cut up fruit or (if you’re feeling brave) vegetables! You’ll be amazed at how interesting your water will taste with a little infusion magic, and the added flavor will encourage you to keep hydrating all day long.
