As many of us know, water is the essence of life. We can survive three weeks without food, but only three days without water. Since water is so vital for our bodies, it has numerous health benefits associated with increasing your H2O intake. People who regularly drink at least their minimum daily needs of water (about 15.5 cups for men and about 11.5 cups for women) tend to have better skin, less joint pain and soreness, more regulated blood pressure, healthier body weights, and overall better immune function. The more water you drink daily directly correlates to your health and wellness!
Did you know that increasing your water intake can increase your chances of conceiving? It’s true! Drinking copious amounts of water is a great way to flush toxins out of your system that might be the cause of some fertility issues. Regular water drinking has also been known to promote regulation in menstruation and ovulation, and also can help boost the health of your eggs.
A few easy ways to drink more water are setting reminders on your phone or watch, switching out other beverages for water, and carrying and refilling a reusable water bottle.
If you aren’t keen on the taste of water but are still trying to increase your daily water intake there are options for you as well. Fruit-infused waters are tasty and depending on which fruits you use, like raspberries, offer additional fertility benefits. Increasing your consumption of fruits with high water content, like watermelons, grapefruits, strawberries, will also increase your daily water intake.
Speaking with a licensed nutritionist can also play a vital role in your general health and fertility, especially if you are trying to increase your daily water intake.
Whatever method you chose, increasing your consumption of water will positively impact your fertility journey.
