WAYS TO KEEP HYDRATION IN CHECK

Maintaining good hydration habits is crucial. Look out for signs of dehydration like increased thirst, dry mouth, constipation, fatigue, and headaches. Monitoring the color of your urine is also a helpful indicator—pale yellow urine signifies proper hydration.

Establishing healthy hydration habits can be enjoyable and achievable. Consider setting reminders, using a water tracker bottle, and incorporating water-rich foods such as watermelon and cucumber into your daily routine. If plain water isn't your favorite, try adding fresh fruit or cordial to make it more enticing.

It’s the small changes that make a big difference. Keep a glass or bottle of water by your bed or have water with your meals to encourage regular hydration. Over time, these simple habits positively impact your day-to-day functioning, uplift your mood, and enhance your ability to manage your mental health.

Prioritizing adequate water intake is a friendly and effective habit that supports your physical and mental well-being. By tracking your water intake, drinking regularly, and being aware of dehydration signs, you can stay hydrated and experience the refreshing benefits that water brings. Cheers to your health!
