Drinking enough fluids

Getting started

  1. Get more of your fluids as water and less as sweet beverages (e.g. juice, drink crystals, soft drinks) and coffee.
  2. If you don’t like the taste of water, add one or two slices of fresh lemon or lime to a pitcher of water and store it in the fridge.
  3. If you’re not used to drinking much water, fill a bottle or jug with the required amount each day and do your best to drink all of it.
  4. Drink small amounts often throughout the day. Fluids come in the form of water, juices, milk, soups, herbal teas and, according to some experts, even coffee and tea.
  5. Alcohol does not count in fluid intake because it removes water from your body.
  6. Keep water at your bedside for drinking during the night. Your state of health can affect how much fluid you should drink. Check with your doctor.
