Since there are so many great apps out there, I want to ask the ever-so-important question: Which one is absolutely essential to your daily life?

I’ll go first: Waterllama! I started using it a few months ago because I really like to know precisely what and how much I drink each day, especially during the summer.

I’d love to hear about the app you use the most and why it’s so important to you. And if you have any tips or tricks for getting the most out of the app, I’d love to hear those too!

    I have never understood the modern obession with hydration, carrying bottles everywhere, drinking a glass of water on a schedule.

    Out bodies have internal hydration tracking. It’s called being “thirsty” or do we only use that word in relation to sex now?

      The issue is that when you feel thirsty, it indicates that your body is already dehydrated (essentially experiencing a water deficit), which is not ideal. Therefore, it’s important to avoid reaching that point. I used to only drink when I felt thirsty, but since using Waterllama, I have been able to maintain better hydration levels (and I must say, I also feel better!).

      There is a lot about the American lifestyle that makes us unhealthy and makes us feel worse and really isn’t in our individual power to fix. Making sure you have enough water intake is something you can control at least.
