wakes up slightly dehydrated.
A glass of water in the morning can help replenish fluids and start the day feeling refreshed.
Before Meals
Drinking water before eating may help support digestion and can contribute to feelings of fullness.
Before Bed
While hydration remains important, drinking large amounts immediately before bedtime may increase the likelihood of waking up during the night to use the bathroom.
If nighttime interruptions are a problem, consider shifting more of your water intake earlier in the day.
Learn to Listen to Your Body
You’ve probably heard recommendations to drink around 1.5 to 2 liters of water daily.
While that’s a useful general guideline, hydration needs vary from person to person.
Factors that influence your water requirements include:
- Body size
- Activity level
- Climate
- Age
- Diet
- Overall health
Instead of focusing exclusively on a specific number, pay attention to your body’s signals.
