Many people take the New Year as a time to make changes and set goals, but unfortunately many of those resolutions are forgotten just a few weeks after they are made. One of the most common changes people want to make is with their health. Whether it be weight related or a goal to make healthier choices, most of us are looking to make some improvements. Drinking water is a healthy choice that is easy to make and not hard to stick with all year long.
In a recent study conducted by Brita, results showed that less than 50 per cent of Canadians are actually drinking the recommended two-to-three litres of water. Are you a part of the group who are drinking it? I like water, yet I seem to easily forget to refill my water bottle as much as I should. Take a look at this infographic for more information.
Fast Facts:
– Three-quarters (74 per cent) of Canadians are most apt to choose a sugar sweetened beverage when thirsty because they are more readily available than healthier options
– 78 per cent of Canadian adults feel they should be drinking more water than they typically do
– Less than 50 per cent of Canadians are actually drinking the recommended two-to-three litres of water
– 37 per cent of Canadians state they do not drink enough water because they do not like the taste of tap water and are concerned about purity levels
– Over two billion sugary drinks are consumed annually in Canada and yet the report shows that 91 per cent of respondents felt that obesity is more of a problem in Canada today than it was five years ago
Since I started drinking three litres of water each day I have noticed I have fewer cravings for snacks, my skin is softer and best of all, I’m losing weight! It’s amazing what water can do for your body!
