Wake up and have a glass of water. It kickstarts your metabolism and wakes you up better than your phone’s alarm. Then drink with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If you work out, drink a cup before, during, and after. If it’s super hot, add an extra glass. And if you’re just sitting at a desk all day? You probably need less than you think. Don’t force it.
Oh, and that eight-glasses rule? It’s a good starting point, but don’t obsess. Life’s too short to carry a gallon jug everywhere. Cheers to drinking just enough—and not too little or too much.
