6 Smart gadgets to help you meet your hydration goals

How much water are we supposed to drink a day? While it’s a good rule of thumb, the old saying of drinking 8 glasses of water per day is long gone. Recent studies say that the amount of water your body needs depends on your weight, size, as well as activity levels. Dr. Nessler states, “you should try to drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day.”
Can water help in weight loss? According to health experts, “water intake is thought to aid weight loss by increasing fat metabolism and decreasing feeding.”
Does hot water have more benefits than cold water? Recent research trends show that drinking hot water on an empty stomach has numerous benefits. Check them out here.

Despite it being a required action for our survival, many of us don’t drink enough water during the day. Whether you claim to be too busy or that water is too boring, it’s nonsense. You feel the effects within a day when you meet your hydration goals.

Of course, guzzling a half gallon of water right before bed to meet your goal isn’t going to help; it’ll just make you get up all night long. These six smart gadgets are all designed to make it easy to reach your goals throughout the day.
