How much water is needed daily? 6-8 eight oz glasses of water a day so 48 to 64 oz a day at least! But, too much water can also be problematic so try to hover within 16 oz of this recommendation.
10 Tips on how to stay hydrated:
1. Make sure your urine is clear or faintly yellow (Vitamins will cause urine to be a darker yellow because we release the vitamins and minerals that our body cannot absorb)
2. Drink a large glass of water in the morning when you wake up because sleep uses up our water stores due to cell restoration
3. Drink at least 16oz of water after consuming coffee, tea, or other dehydrating beverages
4. Snack on water rich foods such as watermelon or celery (Fruits & Veggies)
5. Try not to forget drinking plenty of water after consuming alcohol (We all know alcohol is a drying agent!)
6. Always order a glass of water when out to eat, even if having another beverage
7. Avoid coffee and tea if you struggle drinking enough water
8. Always carry a water bottle
9. Coconut water is an efficient way to hydrate the body
10. If plain water does not interest you, then add lemon, lime, or other tasty fruit flavors
