Thirst Traps: 9 Tips to Drink Up This Summer
Staying hydrated during the summer isn’t just about feeling comfy — it supports overall wellness. Proper fluid intake plays a role in maintaining energy levels, helping the body stay cool and keeping you feeling your best. But when you're busy, traveling or simply soaking up the sun, it’s easy to forget to sip.
These nine hydration tips can help you stay on track — no stress, just smart habits.
1. Begin with Water
Before you reach for coffee or tea, start your day with a glass of water. Your body naturally loses fluids overnight and rehydrating first thing helps support your morning routine. Plus, staying hydrated supports gut health and regularity. If your body needs more fluids, it’ll take water from your digestive tract, making it harder to go. Wanna go (and get on with your day)? Mix Let’s Go Fiber+ with 12 ounces of cool water in the mornings.
2. Make It Tasty
Plain water isn’t your only option. Add sliced fruit, herbs or a splash of citrus to enhance flavor naturally. Infused water can be more enjoyable and may help you drink more throughout the day.
3. Balance with Beverages
If you enjoy caffeine or alcohol, consider alternating with a glass of water. This simple trick can help you stay more mindful about hydration, especially during long summer days or social events.
4. Track It Creatively
Use a fun water bottle, set timers on your phone or use a hydration app to remind yourself to drink regularly. Turning it into a daily challenge makes staying hydrated more engaging.
5. Eat Your Fluids
Hydrating foods — like cucumbers, watermelon and strawberries — are easy to add to summer meals and snacks. These foods can contribute to your overall fluid intake in a refreshing way.
6. Drink Before You’re Thirsty
By the time you feel thirsty, your fluid levels may already be low. Try setting hourly reminders or sipping consistently throughout the day — especially if you're outdoors or active.
7. Support with Electrolytes
When you sweat, your body naturally loses not just water, but also key electrolytes. Choose options that fit your preferences and lifestyle. Fasting Today delivers electrolytes for hydration, along with essential amino acids for muscle health and a little fiber for satiety!* Plus, it has a nice tropical pineapple flavor you’ll love in summer.
8. Upgrade Your Bottle Game
Having a water bottle you enjoy using can make a big difference. Keep an emotional support water bottle with you wherever you go, so hydration is always within reach. Bigger isn’t always better. Choose one that’s convenient enough to carry around throughout the day. And pick a style you enjoy drinking from, whether it’s a straw, flip lid or open top. Tip: Remember to wash your bottle often, preferably daily.
9. Plan for Your Environment
Hot weather, long flights, beach days or high altitudes can increase fluid needs. Plan ahead with extra water, especially if you’re spending time in the sun or traveling. If you’re away from home, reach for travel-friendly options like SubCulture Daily Probiotic Stick Packs. You get serious gut support (we’re talking 50 billion CFU of strains for digestion, immune support and regularity) in seriously tasty and easy-to-use packets.*
