Are You Drinking Enough Water?

Most people rely on thirst as a signal to drink water, but by the time you feel thirsty, your body is already mildly dehydrated.

Dehydration can cause:

❌ Fatigue & low energy

❌ Headaches & dizziness

❌ Dry skin & constipation

❌ Slower metabolism

💡 How much water should you drink daily?

The general rule is 2.5–3 liters per day, but it varies based on your body type, climate, and activity level.
