How to Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day

Keeping water nearby can make drinking regularly easier. You might have a glass with meals, refill a reusable bottle, or take a drink break after a walk. Water needs vary with activity, weather, body size, and health circumstances. Water-rich foods such as fruit and vegetables can also contribute to fluid intake. During hot weather or exercise, pay attention to thirst and replace fluids appropriately. Some medical conditions require specific fluid limits or advice. If you have been given individual guidance by your healthcare team, follow that guidance rather than a general target.
