Beverages like lime water, green tea, coolers, black coffee etc. are a great way to increase you water consumption if you don’t like to drink plain water.
PS – Ensure that you consume in moderation and lay-off the caffeine near your bed time.

A big problem with people is that they want to hydrate but get so busy with their office and work that they almost forget to have water. Water reminding apps are a good solution. You can also use a fitness band or a smart watch for the same.

Many people just don’t like the taste of water and cannot consume higher volumes of it. For them infusing their water with fresh slices of fruit like berries, oranges, lemons or crushed leafy veggies like mint, parsley etc. can be of great help.
