if you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.
Even a 2% drop in hydration can make a difference — studies show:
📉 Focus & brain power drop
Mild dehydration reduces attention, memory, and mood.
(Adan, Nutrients, 2012)
⚡ Energy levels tank
A lack of fluid leads to higher heart rate and perceived effort during exercise.
(Cheuvront & Kenefick, Sports Med, 2014)
💪 Physical performance falls off
Muscles lose efficiency, endurance decreases, and recovery slows.
(Sawka et al., J Appl Physiol, 2007)
✅ Aim for 30–35 ml per kg bodyweight daily (2–3 L for most adults), and don’t forget electrolytes when you sweat.
Sip often. Don’t wait. Your body will thank you.
