If you exercise a lot, you should drink more water before and after Pregnant, and breastfeeding women and older adults are also at higher risk for dehydration. So it\u2019s essential to go above eight cups to replenish lost fluid intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Set a daily goal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how much water you should drink per day, it\u2019s time to set goals to drink more. Remember that telling yourself to consume more water isn\u2019t as effective as telling yourself to drink eight cups daily. Instead, you can make your goal even more specific. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, drink four cups of water before noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buy a reusable water bottle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a pretty water bottle you love so you\u2019ll want to take it everywhere \u2013 when you run errands or go to the gym. Treat it as a kind of added accessory. On top of that, having this bottle isn\u2019t only a great way to form a new habit but also helps you reduce your carbon footprint and the plastic burden on oceans, landfills, and other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954-380x251.jpg 380w, https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954-800x528.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954-1160x765.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/cheqmark.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/im-682954.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/buyside\/wellness\/best-water-bottles-01670879010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">WSJ<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you\u2019re more likely to swallow more at a time when you use a straw compared to when you drink directly from the bottle.
