# I have a hard time making myself drink water, so sometimes I just try to get it all in within a couple hours. But it got me thinking, does it help my body the same way as it would should I drink small amounts throughout the day.

I have a hard time taking breaks to drink water. I find it helpful to bring a water bottle with me everywhere so I can easily take a sip whenever I might be thirsty.
You also don’t have to drink *water* to stay hydrated. You can hydrate with herbal teas, milk, broth/soup, or a variety of juicy fruits and vegetables (cucumber, celery, tomato, melons, grapes, etc). Just choose things that don’t have excessive sugar, salt, or caffeine, which can be dehydrating.
