It might seem like a no brainer to drink more water during the summer time because it’s so much warmer than any other time of the year. Still, it can be hard to get the amount or water our bodies need to be healthy.
Many people don’t even know the right amount of water they should be drinking every day. Do you? What about the amount of water you should drink after a TITLE Boxing Club class?
According to Michael Yabut, Manager of Product and Experience at TITLE Boxing Club, we should all drink 192 ounces of water a day. Yes, you read that right. 192 ounces.
You’re probably thinking about that glass on your desk or by your bedside thinking, “How many of these equals 192 ounces?” Don’t worry, we’re going to break that down for you and share our favorite ways to trick ourselves into drinking more water!
192 ounces:
12 – 16 oz. glasses | 8 – 24 oz. bottles | 6 – 32 oz. bottles (a liter is about 33 oz.) |1.5 – Gallon
These are our favorite ways to make 192 ounces an easy (well, easier) achievement!
- Add some flavor – We love adding lemon or cucumber to our water for a refreshing change. Raspberry and lime, strawberry mango and grapefruit are more flavors we love!
- Start your day with a cold one – A cold one of water that is. Starting every morning with a cold glass of water is an easy way to sneak some ounces in. This will also help wake you up for the day and help increase your metabolism
- Make your water an essential – Essential oils aren’t just for your diffuser. Add some to your water for added health benefits.
- Lemon essential oil alkalizes the body, detoxifies and soothes a sore throat. This is perfect for allergy season and winter time.
- Tangerine fights craving and aids in the digestion of fat.
- Peppermint curbs appetite, helps stop migraines and increases concentration.
- Get competitive – Everyone loves a little competition. Keep track of how much water you drink throughout the day andcompare with your coworkers. Bragging rights and meeting your daily goal are great motivators. Please do not drink all of the recommendation ounces in a short period of time. This can be dangerous. Drink at your normal rate, but keep track of it
- Use a straw – This seems like a silly tip, but we promise it works! Have you ever noticed at a restaurant how many times your water is refilled when you’re drinking out of a straw? Make it fun with a bright colored straw.
Water is so important for our bodies to function properly, for our immune health and our daily functions. Grab a friend and test out some of these tips to see which ones work the best for you!
