Do you want to eat better? Do you want your kids to eat better? Of course you do. No one wakes up and says "I want to be ridiculously unhealthy today." It is a known fact that when people find something easy, they are more likely to do it. Sometimes, this is very interesting in terms of snacking and eating. For example, if eating grapes on the counter is easier than searching in the cupboard for a candy bar, a person is more likely to eat the grapes. If it's the other way around, that same person is more likely to eat the candy bar. It's the same thing with drinks. If there is a readily available soda can or sugary fruit drink within easy grasp, people will favor that over a glass of water. This is not true if you use oasis water coolers. They are so easy to use that you might find, if you use a water cooler in your home, a child is more likely to get a drink out of the oasis water coolers than from the soda drawer in the fridge. This is in no way advocating laziness. In fact, it's more a call to arms to make healthy diet choices easier to obtain than unhealthy ones. Wouldn't you rather your child actually drank 8 glasses of water a day? What about you? You're rushing around the house cleaning and picking up after everyone and when you're thirsty, you need something quick and easy. It's easy to grab a snack on the counter and it's easy to grab a cup and fill it out of the water cooler. Then you know the water is not only quick, easy, and accessible but also clean! Oasis water coolers use purified water and filter out all impurities that might be in the water. That's a great pro for water vs. the sugary drinks. If you want your child to drink even more water, you might try a sticker system if they're younger kids. Post a chart next to the water cooler and have your child add a sticker to it when they drink a glass of water. Stickers are always a great incentive to kids to do something. When they get a certain amount of stickers, you might consider giving them a prize, maybe a really cool cup that they can use exclusively for water. Let them pick it out themselves and tell them to only fill it with water. They'll want to use it as much as possible! Keep you and your family healthy by making water easily accessible. It's really easy!
