Why Slim Pitchers Make Sense for You

There are more and more slim pitchers on the market and for good reason. They are easier to use in the average fridge. They take up less room on the countertop or in the cabinet when they do get put away. They just look more modern and attractive. For all of these reasons, they are being bought and given as gifts for every occasion as well as being bought for home use as well.

The health and fitness experts warn us that the obesity epidemic may be directly linked, at least in part to the huge consumption of heavily sugared drinks, including most fruit juices. People hear the warnings and they run too to trade in their colas and other drinks for diet sodas and they are still overweight. Part of the problem stems from the fact that diet soda causes confusion in the body and can make the average person consume more food, especially food that is high in calories. It can also be linked to the number of potentially dangerous chemicals that are in that innocent looking can of diet soda. These are just a few of the problems related to beverages and only a few of the reasons why experts encourage people to drink more water.

Water, regardless of where it comes from, tastes better when it is cold. Filling a pitcher with water and putting it in the fridge in the early morning can be a great way not only to have cold water during the day but also to keep track of how much water you are drinking. Many of these pitchers have the ounces or cups marked on the side; however, if yours does not, you can measure it out one day and then keep that number in mind. For instance, if you know your pitcher holds a half gallon, you will know that when you finish the entire thing, then you have drunk a half gallon of water for the day. It is a great way to set and then stick to water consumption goals for the day.

The advantage to these pitchers is the ability to stick them on the fridge door so that you can save the shelf space for all of the healthy foods that are there, including all of the lovely fruits and vegetables that you are going to try to eat while increasing your water intake. While you are at it, you can start trying to get a little extra exercise as well- including walking around at the farmers market or digging in your own garden to get more healthy produce. Adding slim pitchers can be a great way to help you create a new, slimmer you as well.
