How can I get used to drinking more water and what does drinking lots of water do for your health?

[Anonymous]

I'm pretty healthy in general, but for some reason I hate water. I don't drink a lot of nasty things like soda and coffee but I do drink juice and eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

Somehow I cannot drink more than a bottle of water at once without feeling like it's going to come back up, but I really want to get better about that.

What things can I do to help me get more used to drinking water? How much water should I be drinking daily? In what ways does drinking lots of water improve your health?

Anyway, if I start drinking lots of water when can I expect to see a difference in my health? Days, Weeks, Months, or Years?

When it comes to water there is the daily 8-8 rule -- drink 8 ounces of water, 8 times a day. Not sure how scientifically sound it is but you will find on many reputable health sites. You may have to alter this depending on whether you live in a hot enviroment, workout heavily, are breastfeeding, etc.

Be sure to never over-hydrate yourself either. Some radio personalities died in Sacramento, CA after drinking too much in a water drinking contest.

I carry around a 1.5L water bottle, and I think it helps when its in constant reach/sight.

At first I could bearly get through the 1.5L then I got through two of them, now I drink 3 of them a day, so around 4L a day.

Benifits are amazing

Have you ever tried Ice sparkling water? It's carbonated water with fruit flavoring. Zero calories, and no sugar. Got me off soda :)

[Asker]

Well for me I have a harder time drinking carbonated stuff than even water.

Having it around for starters helps a lot! I always have a bottle of water at my computer, and that's where I wind down and occasionally work. I generally don't drink a lot of water so I'm always somewhat thirsty. I refill it once I finish it, then rinse and repeat. Makes me need to pee every 40-minutes though haha.

This is how I ended up drinking about 1,5 to 2 liters a day. And it helped - amongst other things - to loose 33lbs.

Also, drinking herb tea is ridiculously large mugs will help :)

How could you not love water ? IT'S THE DAMN BEST DRINK ON EARTH ! <3

Maybe the water you're using to drink is not good or your taste in good or bad is really bad ! No offense but how could you not love water ? :O

You should drink 8 glass minimum a day.

[missxbrightside]

drink tea. or something like that. since tea just combines with water. it'll give it a different taste and be healthier than crystal lite or snapple

[Moloch]

Spend two days hiking with no water and you'll learn to love water just like I have.

Flavor it. Crystal Light, Snapple, etc
