Choose a reusable water bottle

If you have been with us for a while then you know that we are advocates for reusable water bottles! Not only is it the more sustainable choice, but it’s also a convenient way to ensure that you have water nearby throughout the day. Fill your bottle up at the beginning of the day, and refill as needed.

Make water accessible

Keep your reusable water bottle in a visible location, so you remember to drink water throughout the day. Do you know what’s definitely going to remind you to drink water… A bright blue water bottle! Keep your Phox Go on your desk or near your workspace, so it is always within reach.

Infuse your water

For those who don't like the taste of plain water, try infusing it with fruits or herbs. Not only will this add flavour to your water, but it is also a great way to use up leftover produce before it goes bad. Try adding lemon, mint, cucumber, or berries for a refreshing twist.

Use a water filter

We have stressed the benefits of water filters again and again! A water filter jug is an affordable and convenient way to improve the taste and quality of tap water. They can remove impurities and nasties and put back all the good stuff. Additionally, by using a water filter jug, you can avoid buying expensive bottled water and reduce your environmental impact by cutting down on plastic waste.

Set reminders

It can be easy to forget to drink water when you are busy with work. Set reminders on your phone or computer to remind you to take a water break every hour or so.

Eat hydrating foods

Eating foods that are high in water content can also help you stay hydrated throughout the day. Some examples include watermelon, cucumber, celery, tomatoes, and oranges. These foods not only provide hydration but are also packed with vitamins and minerals.

In conclusion, staying hydrated while working from home is crucial for your health, and with these tips, you can do it in an eco-friendly way. By choosing a reusable water bottle, infusing your water with fruits and herbs, making water easily accessible, using a water filter, eating hydrating foods and setting reminders, you can stay hydrated and make a positive impact on the environment.
