Tips For Drinking More Water And Staying Hydrated Starts With Bigelow Botanicals Cold Water Infusions

January 22, 2026

Drinking water is essential for our bodies to function properly according to the Mayo Clinic. However, nearly half of Americans do not drink enough water each day, according to  the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This matters because water supports core functions such as regulating body temperature, aiding digestion, transporting nutrients, and helping the body eliminate toxins. Drinking enough water helps support essential bodily functions, but many people struggle to meet daily hydration needs.

Bigelow Tea, a family and woman owned company certified as a B Corporation now in its third generation with Cindi Bigelow’s leadership, has a long-standing focus on quality, ingredient integrity, and responsible sourcing.

“We know that staying hydrated is essential for overall health and wellbeing,” says Cindi Bigelow, president and CEO. “In support of our consumers who are focusing on living a healthy lifestyle, we created beautiful cold water infusion flavors to enhance each wellness routine. These exceptional flavors are truly a new way to love your water and help each of us reach our daily hydration goals.”

At Bigelow Tea, staying hydrated is viewed as a foundational part of everyday wellness. One way to support daily hydration habits is by adding Bigelow Botanicals Cold Water Infusions to a regular routine. These infusions contain zero calories, zero caffeine. Each flavor is crafted with real fruits, herbs, and botanicals that gently infuse cold water with light, refreshing flavor.

So how can people build consistent hydration habits that support daily well-being? The following strategies focus on practical, everyday actions.

Set a Drink-More-Water Goal 

Create a daily plan for how much water you want to drink. A commonly cited guideline is about eight glasses of water per day, according to the Mayo Clinic. Individual needs vary, but setting a daily water goal provides structure and helps build consistent hydration habits over time. Replacing plain water with a flavored option such as Bigelow Botanicals Blackberry Raspberry Hibiscus Cold Water Infusion may make it easier to reach that goal.

Blackberries contain nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese, according to the Cleveland Clinic. These nutrients are naturally present in the fruit used for this infusion, while hydration remains the primary benefit of drinking Botanicals Infusions.

Bigelow Botanicals Cold Water Infusions are intended to support hydration and enjoyment, not to diagnose, treat, or prevent medical conditions.

Tip: Individual hydration needs can increase based on personal and environmental factors, says Healthline, including the following:

·         Exercise: When you exercise, your body loses water through sweat says Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop Series, making it important to drink enough water to replenish what you have lost. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise can help keep you hydrated and improve your performance. 

·         Climate: Hot and humid climates, according to Physiological Reviews, can increase your need for water, as can high altitudes. In these conditions, it is important to drink enough water to stay hydrated and avoid heat stroke or other heat-related illnesses. 

·         Medications: Certain medications, such as diuretics and antihistamines, may increase your risk of dehydration, according to a study in Nutrients, by causing you to lose water. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you are concerned about how your medications might be affecting your water intake. 

·         Alcohol and caffeine: Both alcohol and caffeine can have a diuretic effect on your body according to Healthline, which may cause you to lose water more quickly. If you drink alcohol or caffeine, it is important to drink enough water to offset these effects. 

Always Carry a Reusable Water Bottle 

Keeping a reusable water bottle nearby is one of the simplest ways to drink more water throughout the day. Whether at work, at home, or on the go, having water within reach encourages regular sipping. Adding Bigelow Botanicals Blueberry Citrus Basil Cold Water Infusion can provide flavor without added calories or sugar. Keeping water accessible throughout the day increases the likelihood of regular hydration.

Bigelow Botanicals Cold Water Infusions are made with real fruits and herbs designed to infuse in cold water. Simply place one infusion bag into a bottle of cold water and allow it to infuse for a light, refreshing taste that travels easily. For example, Bigelow Botanicals Tea Strawberry Lemon Orange Blossom Cold Water Infusion offers a lightly citrus forward flavor that can be enjoyed outdoors, at the beach, or during warm weather activities.

Tip: When traveling or attending events where bottled water is purchased on site, bringing a few individually wrapped Botanicals flavors allows you to easily turn plain water into something more delicious.

Make it Delicious 

Some people find plain water unappealing, which can make hydration goals harder to maintain. Flavored cold water infusions offer a simple way to make drinking water more enjoyable without adding sugar.

Make it a Habit 

Pairing water intake with existing routines can help make hydration automatic. Drinking a glass of water when brushing your teeth or before meals are simple examples. Starting the day with a glass of Bigelow Botanicals Watermelon Cucumber Mint Cold Water Infusion is one option for establishing a consistent morning habit.

Maintaining daily hydration supports essential bodily functions, and Bigelow Botanicals Cold Water Infusions offer a simple way to add light flavor to water, making it easier to drink consistently as part of everyday wellness routines. Cheers from Bigelow Tea.
