I’ve got an exiting announcement for anyone and everyone having problems drinking enough water! (Remember that the recommended amount is eight cups, 64 ounces or two liters a day.) Whichever way you measure it, drinking enough water can seem like a daunting task. And with the summer heat quickly approaching, our bodies need it more than ever!
Personally, I’ve just about given up on keeping up with my required cups a day. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it's my forgetfulness, the culminating bathroom trips or the taste (or lack thereof), but I've developed a hatred for drinking water. But, I’ve recently discovered an adorable app that aims to solve this popular problem.
It’s called "Plant Nanny"! It’s free (with optional in-app purchases to enhance your game play), and available on both Apple and Android smart phones. It’s organized like a game, with such a gratifying and charming reward.
Type in your body and health stats, choose a plant, pot it and you’re off! Each time you drink a glass of water you tell your plant by holding down on the glass and watering it with the same amount that you've drank. With numerous species of plants to choose from (everything from a cactus to a 'snowbush'), watching your green friend grow will become an exciting part of your daily routine!
But be careful! If you don’t do a good enough job at watering your plant or yourself, then it starts to get very sad and droopy. Don’t water it enough, and you’ll lose your little buddy!
Once your new friend is fully grown, they are moved to the garden where each day they give you seeds of their own you can use as currency to buy more plants and different pots. Choose a new plant to pot and you're on your way!
I highly recommend this for anyone who has problems drinking enough water throughout the day. I've made it my goal to raise ten plants this year. Who's with me?
