Unfortunately, some people tend to forget to drink water or may choose other alternatives that aren’t healthy.

Another reason may be the fact that drinking too much water can cause one to constantly go to the bathroom which can be annoying.

While there is no permanent substitute for water – and not supporting there to be one – there are other alternatives that provide hydration other than water.

Create smoothies with fruits that contain a lot of water such as watermelons, pineapples, oranges, blueberries and plums for example.

Add a bit of water when making the smoothies. It is a good alternative to fizzy drinks and energy drinks.
