Hydration affects every bodily function from cognitive performance to physical endurance. Understanding proper hydration supports overall health and wellbeing.
Aim for adequate water intake based on activity level, climate, and individual needs. Signs of dehydration include dark urine, fatigue, and headaches. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water—thirst indicates existing dehydration.
Increase water intake during exercise, hot weather, or illness. Limit dehydrating beverages like excessive caffeine and alcohol. Eat water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables. Carry a reusable water bottle as a reminder to drink regularly throughout the day.
