If you’re looking to reach a daily water intake, this habit is a great choice. The focus here is to drink half your body weight in ounces (e.g., if you weigh 150 lbs, aim for 75 ounces). Of course, if you feel like drinking more would be better, set a personal goal and make your aim to drink that amount each day.
Signs you’re getting enough water:
✅ Light yellow or clear urine
✅ Feeling energized
✅ No frequent headaches or dry mouth
If increasing your water intake leads to frequent trips to the bathroom, here are a few tips to help your body adjust:
🔹 Sip steadily throughout the day instead of chugging large amounts at once.
🔹 Pair water with meals—your body absorbs it more gradually.
🔹 Add electrolytes (like a pinch of sea salt or a squeeze of lemon) to help with absorption.
🔹 Build up gradually so your bladder adjusts.
