Here’s the truth: hydration needs are different for everyone! Your body is smarter than you think—it tells you when it needs water through thirst signals. Instead of forcing yourself to chug water all day, pay attention to these natural cues:

-Feeling thirsty? Time to drink up!

-Dark yellow urine? You might need more fluids.

-Dry mouth or fatigue? Could be signs of dehydration.

Remember, factors like your activity level, climate, and diet all affect how much water you need. So, trust your body and hydrate mindfully rather than following a strict number. Your well-being depends on balance, not rigid rules. 💧
