How to Track Your Water Intake

Written by GBU | Jul 19, 2021 2:30:00 PM

Today's topic is all about how much water you should drink each day.


Here are some tips for how to track your water intake along with other important reminders:

  • It’s way better to sip than chug. Try to make small goals for yourself. Drinking four ounces (1/2 cup) of water every hour is a great way to keep your organs happy.
  • Visual aids are a great way to maintain consistent fluid intake. Time-stamped water bottles can be a great tool to keep you sipping throughout the day.
  • Finally, don’t forget to limit bladder irritants like coffee, tea, caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated beverages (including seltzer!) to no more than 1/4 of your daily fluid intake.

Reminder, a hydrated body is a happy body, especially in the summer when our bodies lose more water due to sweat.

Happy sipping!
