After working with Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water on a previous campaign, I was thrilled they asked me to work with them again on their movement to encourage everyone to drink more water. The “Hydration Movement” wants you to hydrate healthfully by Pledging to drink more water. I know I certainly don’t drink enough, despite the fact that I am always telling my kids to drink more water. I should practice what I preach… and I am taking the Pledge.
“The Hydration Movement started in 2010 when Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water challenged its fans to take the Pledge to swap one sugared beverage a day for water for one year.” Okay, I can do that. In fact, I can do WAY better than that.
We’ve pretty much given up soda in my house. I don’t purchase it anymore and I personally never drink it when I’m at a restaurant. Okay… well, maybe once in a blue moon, but I’m more of a water-with-lemon or iced tea kind of gal. I’m trying SO hard to get my kids to cut out soda, but that isn’t so easy. I do have a few tips, however, if you are trying to cut back.
Drink More Water
1. Don’t bring it into the house. It sounds simple, but just don’t buy it anymore. Yes, the kids will whine and complain, but really… who is the parent here?
2. While it’s kind of rough to go cold turkey, start making water your meal drink of choice for at least 2 meals a day. Fill with ice (ice water is always tastier) and add some citrus to it. Lemons, oranges, grapefruit… splash a little in and you’ll be surprised how refreshing the water becomes.
3. Start taking water with you during the day. If you have it with you (in your car, purse, etc.) then you’ll be more likely to take a sip here and there.
4. Instead of juice boxes in your child’s lunch box, add one of those mini bottles of water. It’s cute and fun and NO SUGAR!
Small steps and you’ll find that you don’t crave the sodas and juices as much. Your body LOVES water… you just have to remind it sometimes.
