Reminder to drink water

How to prevent dehydration

The importance of staying hydrated for the body and mind cannot be overstated, but why is there such a need to meet a certain amount? Well, approximately 60 percent of the body is made up of water, according to Jaclyn London, RD, who is WW's head of nutrition and wellness, and data from the U.S.

Hence, your need for so much of it makes sense. In addition to facilitating metabolic reactions, water lubricates tissues like eyes and joints, regulates body temperature, provides minerals, and builds cells.

Water is essential for all living things. Undoubtedly, water needs vary according to a person's age, gender, and where they live. A typical adult male needs about 3 liters or 0.8 gallons of water per day, while the typical adult female needs about 2 liters or 0.5 gallons of water per day.

Water is not the only thing that keeps you hydrated. Any beverage that contains water contributes to your daily hydration needs. However, water is still the best option for most people. For instance, it is important to remember that sugary drinks can cause weight gain and inflammation, which can increase your risk for diseases such as diabetes. Also, caffeine overdose can contribute to jittery feelings and difficulty sleeping.

Drink water gradually and consistently throughout the day to avoid dehydration. While it sounds simple, it may not actually be. Some people have difficulty drinking enough water daily.

You can easily solve this problem by investing in some items that include features such as drinking water reminders. If you use a smart device to help you reach your recommended water intake, you’ll be able to drink more water naturally and without any conscious effort.

Smartwatches that have this feature might be the best idea, as they are not only water reminders but provide many other advantages. A smartwatch is similar to a smartphone extension and connects to smartphones through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In addition to performing similar functions to smartphones, smartwatches provide many unique features.

Deep Rio Vidaa and Niagara smartwatches offer a variety of specific functions. Aside from the smartphone notifications you receive on your wrist and their customizable backgrounds, Deep Rio's smartwatches include a variety of health features. 

Having a smartwatch with water reminders is probably the best and easiest way to ensure increased water intake and to adjust the body to drink more water.  Also, water reminders have been proven effective in increasing water intake, and are well established as a tool.

Drinking more water can offer many health benefits and even prevent many diseases. Here are a few more tips to help you increase your water intake:

1. Start your day with a glass of water

It is a great idea to drink a large glass of water after you wake up. Additionally to hydration, drinking a glass of water just as soon as you wake up can help you wake up faster, increase your energy levels, aid digestion, and flush toxins.

2. Set up reminders

By the time you feel thirsty, you are probably already dehydrated. Rather, try using reminders on your smartwatch throughout the day to encourage you to drink water.

Put a reminder on your smartwatch to take a few sips of water every 30 minutes or to finish and refill your glass of water every hour. If you're forgetful or too busy to drink water, these reminders are life-changing in your daily water intake.

3. Always drink water before a meal

Drinking water before meals is an easy way to remind yourself to take it. It will keep you hydrated throughout the day, and it will also aid in digestion. Having three meals a day means drinking an additional 3 cups of water (approx. 720 ml) per day.

Also, sometimes feelings of hunger can be confused with thirst. Having a glass of water before eating helps you determine if you are really hungry. Plus, drinking water before meals can help you eat fewer calories at the next meal if you're trying to lose weight.

4. You can increase your water intake by setting a daily goal.

Setting a goal can motivate you and help you stick with positive changes for a longer period.

It is best to set SMART goals, which means that the goals are:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Realistic
• Time-bound

For instance, one SMART goal for water intake might be to drink 2 or 3 liters of water per day. If you need motivation, the water reminder from your smartwatch can help track whether you are following the steps toward your goal.

 Final words

It is quite obvious why water reminders are so important and influence your water intake. The smartwatches that offer this feature are extremely convenient water reminders and add various other bonuses. The Vidaa and Niagara smartwatches have a big variety of features and are affordable, so if you want to pamper yourself with a smartwatch that has a great variety of health features, give them a try! As a whole, Deep Rio’s smartwatches offer numerous useful features that aim to assist you in your daily life, monitor your health, and track your sports activities.
