Winter is sneaky. One moment, you’re cosy in your blanket, watching your favourite series, and the next moment, you realize you haven’t had a sip of water since…..yesterday? Well, the cold weather tricks us into being thirsty and before we know it, our skin is already dry. But there should be some kind of loophole for this, right?
Don’t worry there is. And they are very creative and funky to keep your hydration game strong this season.
Spice your plain water up. Infuse your hot water with cinnamon, ginger, or a splash of lemon will never disappoint you. Herbal teas are also a hydration hack that you should know. Bonus: they warm your soul keeping your skin from turning into a flaky mess.
Why just drink water, when you can munch it? Have some water-rich foods like oranges, cucumbers, soups, and broths. Stews and warm fruit bowls are secret hydration heroes.
A boring old water bottle? Nah, we need a spark! Get yourself a funky, bright, coloured bottle with a motivational quote of yours on it. You’ll be reaching for it just to show off your impeccable hydration style.
Sticky notes won’t help. Set a goofy alarm that says, “HYDRATED or DEHYDRATED?”. And then don’t avoid it.
Coffee is everything and I get it. And mostly in winter we crave good and strong coffee. But it’s the most easy way to become dehydrated. And your ‘one cup more’ can be a villain. But you can have a cup of coffee and match it with a glass of water. Balance it.
There you have it. Now stop giving winter dehydration excuses. Stay cosy, stay hydrated, and keep your glow going.
