One can keep a track of the amount of water they are drinking throughout the day by the help of their mobile phone applications like Water Your Body and WaterLogged. Just set the number of glasses of water you want to drink daily and the app will send you reminders to drink water during the day.

Spice it up

If you can't drink glass after glass of plain water, you can always spice it up by squeezing some lemon into it. Lemon water is not only refreshing, but it also helps prevent dehydration or adrenal fatigue.
