Staying hydrated is essential for overall health, but in our busy daily lives, it’s easy to forget to drink enough water. Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, dry skin, and difficulty concentrating. Luckily, staying hydrated doesn’t have to be complicated—it’s all about building simple habits that work for you.

Here are easy hydration hacks you can start today.

Why Hydration Matters
Water makes up about 60% of our body weight and plays a key role in:

• Regulating body temperature
• Supporting digestion and nutrient absorption
• Lubricating joints
• Maintaining healthy skin
• Boosting energy and focus

1. Start Your Day with Water
Begin your morning by drinking a glass of water before breakfast. This jumpstarts your metabolism and helps replace fluids lost overnight.

2. Keep Water Accessible
Keep a reusable water bottle on your desk, in your bag, or in the car. Having water nearby increases the likelihood you’ll drink regularly.

3. Make Water Flavorful
If plain water feels boring, add natural flavours:

• Lemon slices
• Cucumber slices
• Fresh mint leaves
• A splash of fruit juice

These add taste without extra calories or sugar.

4. Track Your Intake
Use a water tracking app or set hourly reminders. Visual cues can help you reach your hydration goals.

5. Eat Water-Rich Foods
Fruits and vegetables are a great way to boost hydration while adding vitamins and minerals. Include options like:

• Watermelon
• Cucumber
• Oranges
• Strawberries
• Lettuce
• Coconut water

6. Set Hydration Goals Around Your Lifestyle
Your water needs vary based on activity level, climate, and health conditions. As a general rule, aim for at least 8 glasses (about 2 litres) daily—but increase intake if you’re physically active or in a hot climate.

7. Drink Before You’re Thirsty
Thirst is often a sign you’re already dehydrated. Make drinking water a habit rather than a reaction.
