Staying hydrated is essential for your body to function well. Water helps regulate temperature, transport nutrients, and remove waste — and even mild dehydration can affect how you feel.

**How to stay on top of hydration:**
- Aim for around 8 cups (2 litres) of water per day — more if you're active or in warm weather
- Watch for signs you're dehydrated: dark urine, low energy, or dry mouth
- Drink when you're thirsty — don't wait too long
- Eat hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables
- Carry a water bottle to make it easier to sip consistently

Water is always the best choice — it hydrates without added sugar or calories.
