Drink more with a water app
Since I basically drink too little, I have a water app installed on my smartphone. It reminds me every two hours that I should take liquid. Especially in the summer heat a welcome tool when it did not work out with self-care. First conclusion: goodbye to headache.
This is how a water app works
First, give the app some information about you. This will calculate the daily amount of your fluid requirement. The questions asked are gender, weight and your drinking habits. Are you coffee junkies, then the daily Kaffeepensum is weighted differently than if you are one of the occasional coffee drinkers. You also make the basic settings for your preferred drinks. I have for? Water? the symbol of a glass and the filling amount specified with 200 milliliters. For? Coffee? the symbol of a cup appears to me with the amount of 100 milliliters. Now you are allowed to drink. With one click you add your empty drink and see immediately how it is ordered to your daily turnover. As a reminder, the app offers me a vibration alarm, which I have set in the context of 8 to 20 clock. After that it's time to leave!
Large selection of water apps
The world of water apps is now quite extensive. In part, there are enormous analysis programs behind it, which measure the daily hydration in detail. As the sports activity is included, or just the affiliation with the couch Potatoe. Weather data is queried for a more precise calculation or the liquid in food is evaluated. However, the function of memory and control suffices me, because I am one of those who too often suppress their thirst. Mineral water producers also offer water apps, certainly with the goal of increasing their sales. But the danger of too much water, which has already been reported here on TheFruitAndFlowerBasket.com, is not given with their drinking apps. There is a plus to info on mineral water and its ingredients such as calcium, magnesium or bicarbonate.
Conclusion of my use of the water app
Already after a two-week test phase, I am more aware of my fluid intake. Even if I like playing children who romp around in the sun for hours and feel no thirst, until in the evening the headache there and the urine dark colored instead of bright. Over the summer I leave the water app activated in any case. It would be nice if the app would show me a level indicator of my mineral water boxes, because they are of course more often empty now. With this, the beverage manufacturers have achieved their goal.
