Take water, not juice
Did you know that we are made up of 60 to 70 percent water? We lose quite a bit of all that fluid every day: through urine, through breathing and sweating. Our food also contains a lot of water, but to maintain the fluid balance, you should drink one to one and a half liters of fluid daily.
Do you have trouble drinking enough in a day? That way it might work.
crushed coin
Brighten up your tap water with a slice of lemon or some crushed mint leaves. Or make iced tea from cooled, strong (fruit) tea. And soon the elderflower will bloom, which you can use to make delicious syrup. Prefer ready-made from the store? Then choose a low-calorie drink.
take mini
Some drinks you mainly drink for ‘the tasty’. Such as soft drinks or those hip coffee drinks with long names with lots of whipped cream and chocolate. So no daily fare. Still fancy a treat? Order a small cup of that coffee and buy mini soda cans.
Water
By far the best thirst quencher is water. It costs next to nothing, it is sustainable and contains no calories. Diet (soft) drinks, tea and coffee without sugar are also a good choice. Fruit juice with pulp is fine, but energy-rich. Do not drink more than 1 glass a day or dilute it with (sparkling) water.
Drinking alarm
It happens to all of us: you are busy all day and only when you plop down do you realize that you are terribly thirsty. Always have water to hand. Put a carafe on the table and take a bottle with you. Plan regular drinking moments and, if necessary, set an alarm to remind you.
pot of tea
All that juice and sweetened (dairy) drinks are not so healthy, and bad for the teeth. Get used to drinking water when you are thirsty, possibly with a little orange juice. Or make an old-fashioned cozy pot of tea.
