Remembering to drink water shouldn’t be difficult. Do you know if you are drinking enough water to stay healthy? Another question, do you know why it is important to drink water?

So, let’s check out what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says about the benefits of drinking water on their website: “Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Drinking water can prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear thinking, result in mood change, cause your body to overheat, and lead to constipation and kidney stones. Water has no calories, so it can also help with managing body weight and reducing calorie intake when substituted for drinks with calories, such as sweet tea or regular soda.”

On the same website, we can also find a list of some of the benefits of water on our bodies:

Of course, everyone needs water, but there are some situations when you need more:

Now that you know that water is important for you, let’s look at some apps that can help you know how much your body needs. These apps work by storing your information about how much water or other healthy drink you drink throughout the day. Each of these applications has its own characteristics. Choose one of them and don’t forget to drink water!

Set your daily water intake goal and then log every ounce (or milliliter) with just a tap. This app shows you how close you’re getting to your daily goal after every glass of water, or review 7- and 30-day charts for an idea of your overall progress.

The Hydro Coach app allows you to set your target intake or use the app’s calculator to determine an appropriate daily goal. The app will remind you when it is time to drink and has a feature to customize if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, two situations where you will need a lot more water than you usually drink.

This easy, intuitive app calculates appropriate hydration amounts based on your body weight or personal goal. Then, it sends reminders all day long, making it easy to hit your target intake. Create custom cups for fast, simple logging, and browse your hydration history to see your progress.

In addition to sending notifications reminding you to drink water throughout the day, this app uses your activity level to calculate your daily water requirements so you’re getting what you need.

This app uses a calculator for how much you should drink based on your body measurements, regular reminder notifications for the times you should be drinking water, and visual representations of the stats of your water intake.

If you want to have fun remembering to drink water all day long, this app is for you. It has cute illustrations of water droplets that just want you to stay hydrated. This app will remind you to drink enough water everywhere. But the most interesting thing about this app is that it can sync with Google Fit and S Health to combine your weight data with water intake data to help optimize your hydration needs.

Hey, have you had your glass of water yet? 😊
