6 Smart gadgets to help you meet your hydration goals
Struggling to drink your eight glasses a day? You’re not alone. Lucky for you, technology is here to help. Whether you hate the taste or simply forget, these smart gadgets will make drinking water easier than ever.

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.
