Verizon users are currently unable to call Mayo Clinic phone numbers with a 507 area code. Verizon is working to resolve the issue. Please use Patient Portal messaging or a non-Verizon phone in the meantime.
Hydration is more than quenching your thirst — it helps keep your body running well. Drinking enough water daily helps regulate your body temperature, lubricate your joints, deliver nutrients to cells, improve sleep quality, improve brain performance, maintain organs functioning properly and put you in a better mood. It might be time to rethink your drink if you often reach for drinks with hidden ingredients and extra calories.
Get the Rethink Your Drink 30-Day Water Challenge activity sheet (PDF).
Print the activity sheet or save it to your desktop to digitally track. It can be used individually or as a group. Here are some ideas for using this with a group:
Try infused water with your group. Group members can take turns providing new infused water flavors.
Create a leaderboard to compete with other group members.
Reward group members who achieve the goal for 30 days. Perhaps you give successful participants a prize or enter them into a prize drawing.
Find an accountability partner or small group to ensure you are following through. Compare notes. Swap ideas.
