💧 Are You Dehydrated? Here’s How to Tell—and Stay on Track!
Water is essential for nearly every function in your body, from energy levels and digestion to skin health and mental clarity. Yet many of us walk around mildly dehydrated without even realising it.
🔍 Signs You Might Be Dehydrated
• Feeling thirsty
• Dry mouth and lips
• Dark yellow urine or less frequent urination
• Headache and fatigue
• Dizziness or confusion
• Dry skin
• Rapid heartbeat
💦 How Much Water Do You Need?
The amount of water you need depends on your weight, activity level, and environment. A general rule of thumb is:
👉 Body Weight (kg) x 0.033 = Liters per day
Example:
If you weigh 60 kg:
60 x 0.033 = 1.98 liters per day (~8 cups)
💡 Note: If you’re active, live in a hot climate, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may need even more.
💧 Tips to Stay Hydrated
✅ Carry a reusable water bottle with you everywhere
✅ Snack on water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges
✅ Set phone reminders to drink every 1-2 hours
✅ Use a hydration tracker app or a simple checklist
✅ Add flavor with lemon, mint, or berries to make it more appealing
✅ Drink a glass of water before and after meals
