The Importance of Water
Water constitutes about 60% of our body weight. It is vital for nearly every bodily function, including regulating temperature, transporting nutrients, and lubricating joints.
How Much Should You Drink?
The old ‘8 glasses a day’ rule is a good starting point, but individual needs vary based on weight, activity level, and climate. A more tailored approach is to aim for half your body weight in ounces of water per day.
Signs of Dehydration
Fatigue, headaches, and dark-colored urine are clear signs you need to drink more water. Keep a reusable water bottle with you to make sipping throughout the day a habit.
