4 tips to start drinking water every day

If you want to have healthy hair, drinking water is key. You are probably aware of this already because everyone always says this, but it is important to understand why and how our hair benefits so much from drinking water.

First, let’s take a look at some key facts: our scalp is covered in blood vessels that carry necessary nutrients to the epidermis and dermis; the latter is home to the hair follicles’ cells and components, which allow for new hair growth.

Carotid arteries are the ones responsible for transporting blood to the head and the brain. For this reason, eating healthy and staying hydrated will not only help you have healthy hair, it will also reduce the chances of cardiovascular disease or a stroke.

Having said this, it is also important to understand that the key to having good blood flow on your scalp is to hydrate from within. The reason is that your scalp does not absorb water from the outside, unless you spend a long time in the shower, and only then will a small amount of water reach the external part of your scalp.

How much water you should drink depends on a variety of factors. Not drinking enough water is bad, but drinking too much of it is also bad for you. Talk to your doctor or nutritionist to learn what is your recommended daily water intake based on your lifestyle and specific needs. 

Here are a few tips to make drinking water less of a hassle: 

1. Add some flavor

One of the most common reasons why some people do not like to drink water is that they do not like how it tastes. To solve this problem, you can try adding a couple of orange or lemon slices, or red berries. Once they infuse the water, the change in taste will be subtle, but it will make all the difference.

2. An app that reminds you to drink water

Sometimes, our daily routines and hectic lifestyles keep us going for long hours, and we forget to drink enough water. In order to prevent this from happening, there are various apps you can download that remind you to drink water every so often. It is a simple yet effective solution that all of us can benefit from.

3. Keep a bottle with you

Besides reducing plastic bottle waste, keeping a reusable water bottle that you can refill once you are done will help you keep track of how much water you are drinking. For instance, if your daily goal is to drink two liters, and your bottle holds one liter, all you have to do is make sure that you finish two bottles by the end of the day. Just remember: drinking the two liters right before bed because you forgot will not be as beneficial as drinking them throughout the day.

4. Try tea, blends, or infused water

This is a great alternative if berries or fruit slices are not enough to flavor your water: tea, blends (of tea with other ingredients), or infused water will take your water to the next level, and you will enjoy drinking it that much more. It is best to avoid any sweeteners, but if you really feel like it, try to choose a natural sweetener and use as little as possible.
