If you’re not already drinking 48-64oz fluid daily

• Keep water bottle with water, tea or flavored water as accessible as possible (work station at work or a safe place that you frequently pass by; when not at work—keep with you or in a place that you frequent throughout the day; when running errands, keep in the vehicle with you).

• Make it easy to track your fluids—

  • Drink out of a measured bottle (16, 24, or 32oz). If you fill up a 24oz bottle and take it to work with you and drink two bottles, then you know you’ve gotten 48oz fluid without having to do a lot of counting.

• Keep fluids as accessible as possible; you’ll be more likely to drink them if they’re easy to get to.

• Even if you can’t get at least 48oz/day at first, any increase is better than none.

• Try to include vegetables and fruits with every snack/meal (these generally have more water content than other foods like meats, nuts and grains). It’s difficult and tedious to track the fluid from them but simply including a “juicy” food with a meal or snack adds some fluid to your diet and can help you feel less thirsty.

• Don’t try to guzzle as much liquid as you can at one time or you may feel bloated and sluggish until the fluid moves through your system

• If you’re already drinking 64oz water/fluids on work days and you still feel dehydrated, get a check-up to make sure there are no illnesses causing the dehydration. If everything looks good, then try to add strategies above.
